I have had tinnitus since I was about 16 (24 now) and Iam wondering
what type of relation exist between TMJ and tinnitus. I am assuming
that there is a significant increase in tinnitus having TMJ

My tinnitus is always there, and can be described as a low but
noticeable ringing -not a whistling. I have already lost 2 back
molars.
Is there a way to relax the jaw?

Also, is there a good link to a tinnitus site
I have so so many questions to have answered still

Thanks for your response
