To investigate the potential relationships between the intensity of tinnitus associated with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and potential etiologic factors, including age, gender, freeway space, sleep bruxism (SB), joint clicking, and headache.
The sample was comprised of 90 patients without any hearing loss, as confirmed by otorhinolaryngology, who self-reported subjective tinnitus and simultaneous TMD, based on the Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMD (RDC/TMD).
The results showed a positive, weak correlation between the intensity of tinnitus and age (r = 0.225, p = 0.033). The presence of SB and headache were seen in higher proportions in the present sample, at 75.5% (n = 68) and 66.6% (n = 60), respectively.
In a population of patients with subjective tinnitus and TMD, no significant associations were found between tinnitus intensity and age, freeway space, SB, clicking presence, and headache, though gender did show a weak correlation with tinnitus intensity.
探讨与颞下颌关节紊乱病（TMD）相关的耳鸣强度与潜在病因因素之间的潜在关系，这些因素包括年龄、性别、牙合间隙、睡眠磨牙症（SB）、关节弹响和头痛。
样本包括90例经耳鼻喉科检查证实无听力损失的患者，这些患者根据颞下颌关节紊乱病研究诊断标准（RDC/TMD）自我报告有主观性耳鸣和同时存在的颞下颌关节紊乱病。
结果显示耳鸣强度与年龄之间存在正相关但较弱的相关性（r = 0.225，p = 0.033）。在本样本中，睡眠磨牙症和头痛的出现比例较高，分别为75.5%（n = 68）和66.6%（n = 60）。
在患有主观性耳鸣和颞下颌关节紊乱病的患者群体中，未发现耳鸣强度与年龄、牙合间隙、睡眠磨牙症、弹响的存在和头痛之间存在显著关联，尽管性别与耳鸣强度确实显示出较弱的相关性。
