Tinnitus is a condition characterized by the perception of sound in the absence of an external stimulus, and it can be caused by a variety of factors, including TMJ disorders. TMJ disorders affect the temporomandibular joint, which connects the jawbone to the skull. When this joint is damaged or inflamed, it can cause pain and discomfort in the jaw, neck, and head, as well as tinnitus.
