Temporomandibular Joint Disorder Associated With Chronic Mouth Breathing, Tinnitus, and Hearing Loss
Abstract
Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) is a common condition affecting the masticatory muscles and temporomandibular joint. Owing to the close anatomical and functional relationship between the temporomandibular joint and the auditory system, patients with TMD may present with otologic symptoms, including tinnitus, hearing impairment, ear fullness, and otalgia. Chronic mouth breathing may contribute to altered craniofacial development, abnormal mandibular positioning, and TMJ dysfunction, potentially exacerbating auditory manifestations.
