Where is the Temporomandibular Joint?
Very simply, it is the jaw joint. You will find the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) where the jawbone meets the temple. It is very close to the ear. If the joint is not working properly it can lead to problems like TMJ and tinnitus. Research Research has shown that ear and sinus symptoms can be related to a TMJoint that is not functioning correctly and that there is a direct blood and nerve flow from the ears to the TMJ. Headaches, fatigue and tension in the jaw muscles have been found to be higher in tinnitus patients and approximately one third of patients report that jaw movement influences their tinnitus.
