To evaluate the presence of tinnitus and tinnitus-related hearing loss in individuals with temporomandibular joint disorders.
In the study, 288 patients with temporomandibular joint complaints and 33 patients with both temporomandibular and tinnitus complaints were evaluated. The Tinnitus Handicap Inventory was used in the evaluation of tinnitus. Pure tone audiometry test was used to evaluate the presence and degree of hearing loss. The Student's -test and Independent Sample -test were applied to compare between groups.
The incidence of tinnitus was found to be 11.46% among patients with temporomandibular disorders. Tinnitus and tinnitus severity levels were found to have significant differences in patients with temporomandibular disorders. No significant relationships were found between right and left ear pure tone audiometry test results in patients.
There is a relationship between aural symptoms, tinnitus, and temporomandibular disorders. Patients with temporomandibular disorders should be evaluated for otological symptoms.
评估颞下颌关节紊乱症患者耳鸣及耳鸣相关听力损失的情况。
本研究对288例有颞下颌关节症状的患者以及33例同时有颞下颌关节症状和耳鸣症状的患者进行了评估。使用耳鸣障碍量表评估耳鸣情况。采用纯音听力测试评估听力损失的存在及程度。运用学生t检验和独立样本t检验进行组间比较。
发现颞下颌关节紊乱症患者中耳鸣发生率为11.46%。颞下颌关节紊乱症患者的耳鸣及耳鸣严重程度存在显著差异。患者左右耳纯音听力测试结果之间未发现显著相关性。
耳部症状、耳鸣与颞下颌关节紊乱症之间存在关联。颞下颌关节紊乱症患者应评估耳部症状。
