Скачать или смотреть “I No Longer Have Tinnitus!” | How TMJ Treatment Can Stop Ringing in the Ears: Dr. David Frey solves

For many patients, tinnitus—the persistent ringing, buzzing, or humming in the ears—feels mysterious and untreatable. People are often told, “You’ll just have to live with it.”
But for some patients, tinnitus is not an ear problem at all—it’s a jaw problem.

In this video, Dr. Frey explains how TMJ dysfunction can directly contribute to tinnitus, and why correcting the jaw, bite, and muscle balance can sometimes lead to dramatic improvement—or even complete resolution—of ear symptoms.

When a patient says, “I no longer have tinnitus!”, it’s not magic. It’s anatomy.

🧠 What You’ll Learn in This Video

✔ How TMJ dysfunction can cause tinnitus
✔ Why the jaw and ear are anatomically connected
✔ What the discomalleolar (DML) ligament is
✔ How jaw joint compression affects the ear
✔ Why clenching and bite instability worsen tinnitus
✔ How TMJ treatment can relieve ear symptoms
✔ Why ear-focused treatments sometimes fail
✔ Who may benefit from a TMJ evaluation

This video is essential for anyone experiencing tinnitus along with jaw pain, clenching, headaches, or bite problems.

👂 The Jaw–Ear Connection Most People Don’t Know About

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) sits extremely close to the structures of the middle ear. Even more importantly, the jaw joint and the ear are connected by a small but powerful structure called the discomalleolar ligament (often referred to as the DML ligament).

This ligament connects the jaw joint to one of the tiny bones in the middle ear (the malleus). Because of this connection:

• Jaw joint compression can affect the ear
• Jaw position can influence ear pressure
• Muscle tension can transmit force to ear structures

When the jaw is in a pathologic position, this ligament can become strained, irritated, or tensioned—contributing to tinnitus.

⚠️ How TMJ Dysfunction Can Trigger Tinnitus

TMJ-related tinnitus often develops when:
• The jaw joint is compressed
• The bite is unstable
• Jaw muscles are overactive
• Clenching or grinding is present
• Joint space is reduced

In this state:
• The DML ligament is stressed
• Middle ear structures are affected
• The nervous system remains irritated
• Ringing or buzzing can persist

This explains why many tinnitus patients also experience jaw pain, facial tension, headaches, neck pain, or bite discomfort.

🧘 Why the Bite Matters So Much

The jaw does not float freely—it is guided by the teeth. If the bite is unstable:
• The jaw shifts backward or upward
• The joint becomes compressed
• Soft tissue is irritated
• Muscles stay tense
• Ear symptoms may worsen

Clenching is not a habit—it is the body trying to stabilize an unstable system.

🛠️ How TMJ Treatment Can Reduce or Eliminate Tinnitus

TMJ treatment focuses on restoring a physiologic jaw position—a position where:
• The jaw joint has space
• Muscles are relaxed
• The bite is stable
• The nervous system calms

When this position is found and supported:
✔ Pressure on the joint is reduced
✔ The DML ligament is unloaded
✔ Muscle tension decreases
✔ Ear irritation may resolve

This is why some patients experience immediate or rapid improvement in tinnitus once the jaw is properly positioned.

❌ Why Ear-Only Treatments Often Fail

Many tinnitus patients try:
• Hearing tests
• Ear medications
• Sound therapy
• White noise
• Supplements

While these approaches may help some people, they do not address jaw mechanics. If tinnitus is being driven by TMJ dysfunction, ear-focused treatments alone may never fully resolve the issue.

🧩 Who Should Consider a TMJ Evaluation for Tinnitus

You may benefit from a TMJ-focused evaluation if you have:
✔ Ringing or buzzing in the ears
✔ Jaw pain or clicking
✔ Clenching or grinding
✔ Headaches or facial tension
✔ Neck or shoulder pain
✔ Bite discomfort
✔ Symptoms that change with jaw movement

These are strong clues that tinnitus may be mechanical—not auditory.

🧑‍⚕️ A Personalized Approach Is Critical

Not all tinnitus is TMJ-related. That’s why a personalized evaluation is essential. Proper assessment looks at:
• Jaw joint position
• Bite stability
• Muscle activity
• Functional movement

When the true cause is identified, treatment can be targeted—and life-changing.
