“…To indicate this type of tinnitus, the term somatosensory tinnitus has been proposed ( Levine, Abel, & Cheng, 2003 ). Moreover, cervical spine disorders (CSD; e.g., pain, tenderness; Abel & Levine, 2004 ; Bjorne, 2007 ; Folmer & Griest, 2003 ; Michiels, De Hertogh, Truijen, & Van de Heyning, 2015 ; Oostendorp et al., 2016 ; Reisshauer et al., 2006 ; Sahin, Karatas, Ozkaya, Cakmak, & Berker, 2008 ) or temporomandibular disorders (TMD; Ramirez, Ballesteros, & Sandoval, 2008 ) are frequently associated with tinnitus. However, in most of these studies, the prevalence data are not compared with a control group, and the strength of the association between tinnitus and CSD or TMD remains unclear.…”
