T his manuscript explores the interconnectedness of Tinnitus and Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD), two conditions affecting the same anatomical region due to their proximity to the jaw and ears. Tinnitus, characterized by internal perception of sound, has subjective and objective manifestations, with a significant increase in research publications reflecting growing interest in the field. TMD, encompassing pain and limitations in jaw movement, is recognized as a complex multi-system condition with widespread implications beyond the jaw joint. Comorbidity between TMD and various other conditions underscores shared risk factors and disease mechanisms, with estimates suggesting a substantial prevalence of TMD within the US population, particularly among women. This abstract highlights the intricate relationship between Tinnitus, TMD, and associated comorbidities, shedding light on the broader impact of these disorders on overall health and well-being.
