Abstract
• The association of tinnitus and vertigo with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) has been debated for many years. The observation that patients with TMD have otologic symptoms is confounded because tinnitus and vertigo are common symptoms in the normal population. The present study was conducted to determine if tinnitus and vertigo are actually more prevalent in patients with TMD than in appropriate age-matched controls. One control group was recruited from patients seeking care for health maintenance and the other from patients seeking routine dental care. We surveyed 1032 patients: 338 had TMD and 694 served as two age-matched control groups. Tinnitus and vertigo symptoms were significantly more prevalent in the TMD group than in either of the control groups. The mechanism of the association of TMD and otologic symptoms is unknown.
