Resumo: A disfunção temporomandibular (DTM) é um conjunto de sinais e sintomas, que prejudica as funções de articulação da fala, de mastigação, respiração, e muitas vezes encontra-se associada asintomatologia auditiva. Essa pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar a relação da dor na articulação temporomandibular com a presença de sintomas e alterações otológicas por meio de um estudo analítico, observacional do tipo transversal, em 25 pacientes com dor causada por processo inflamatório articular decorrente de disfunção temporomandibular, de ambos os sexos, maior de idade, atendidos na Clínica Escola de Fonoaudiologia da Universidade Ceuma. Dos 25 pacientes, 88% referiram pelo menos um sintoma otológico.O zumbido foi referido em 72% dos casos, a otalgiaem 56% e a sensação de plenitude auricular em 52%. Os achados deste estudo apontam alto percentual de sintomas otológicos em pacientes com sinais e sintomas de DTM, destacando-se a necessidade de estudos e pesquisas mais complexos e com uma amostra maior pra comprovar as específicas relações causaefeito entre ambos.Palavras-chave: Articulação Temporomandibular; Perda auditiva; Dor. Abstrat:The temporomandibular disorders (TMD) is a set of signs and symptoms, which affect the joint functions of speech, chewing, breathing, and often is associated with auditory symptoms. This research aimed to investigate the relationship of pain in the temporomandibular joint with the presence of symptoms and ear changes via an analytical observational cross-sectional study in 25 patients with pain caused by inflammation joint due to temporomandibular dysfunction, of both sexes, of legal age, assisted at the Clinical School of Speech Therapy at the University Ceuma. Of the 25 patients, 88% reported at least one otologic symptoms. Tinnitus has been reported in 72% of cases, otalgia 56% and ear fullness of 52%. The findings of this study indicate a high percentage of otologic symptoms in patients with signs and symptoms of TMD, highlighting the need for studies and research more complex and a larger sample to confirm the specific cause-effect relationships between them.
