Ear Problems (Including hearing) Archives

TMJ & Tinnitus (Archive.)

Ringing in the Ears is a common problem..It is often caused by the way your teeth come together.

We often refer to the Dental Stress Syndrome - associated with TMJ, the temporomandibular joint located just before the ears.

Dr. N. Shore reported that 20 % have TMJ symptoms. Research done by Dr. A. C. Fonder indicates that 92% of people with the syndrome have tinnitus, ringing in the ears.

Still, the bite, the way one's teeth come together and the relationships between the jaws as they move from side to side, is often overlooked when one is seeking the answer to the tinnitus problem.

There are other contributing factors to tinnitus, but if you have tinnitus, be sure to see a DDS who is informed in TMJ diagnosis and treatment - and this treatment should include nutrition.
