Im posting this in response to many questions from member of DS
Yes...TMJ and Tinnitus are very closely related

1) Non-pulsatile tinnitus is commonly caused by temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction
2) It has also been associated with whiplash injuries and other cervical-spinal disorders
3) Tinnitus may improve when patients respond favorably to treatment for symptoms of TMJ dysfunction (bite plate, antiinflammatories)
4) The exact mechanism for the generation of tinnitus from either the TMJ or the cervical spine is not known, but may involve disinhibition of the dorsal cochlear nucleus.
