10 Symptoms of TMJ
Symptom #5: Tinnitus
Our ears are finely tuned instruments that help us understand what is going on around us. They may not be as sensitive as the ears of many other animals, but they can pick up slight sounds in a range of frequencies. Such sensitive equipment can go wrong, though, and when it does it can be quite uncomfortable.
Tinnitus is a condition that manifests itself as a ringing in the ears, and it is occasionally experienced as a symptom in people with TMJ disorder. In addition to a ringing sound, it can also be experienced as roaring, clicking. or hissing sounds. Depending on the duration and severity, tinnitus can range from being mildly uncomfortable to outright unbearable.
