“…19 Furthermore, there was a report showing that while tinnitus that can be heard even amid surrounding has a moderate level of impact on quality of life in patients with TMD, the individual can still carry on with normal daily living. 20 While the severity of TMD or tinnitus was not assessed in this study, we confirmed that having both TMD and tinnitus significantly predicts HRQoL.…”

“…19 Moreover, one report showed that tinnitus that can be heard even amid surrounding noises has a moderate level of impact on quality of life in patients with TMD, and the individual can still carry on with normal daily living. 20 While there are studies that have examined the association between TMD and tinnitus, few studies have investigated the associations among TMD, tinnitus and quality of life, with a particular lack of large-scale, national-level studies. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the associations among TMD, tinnitus and quality of life in adults using a nationally representative sample.…”

Background: Few studies have examined the associations of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and tinnitus with health-related quality of life on a national level. Objective:We aimed to investigate the associations of TMDs, tinnitus and quality of life among the Korean population, aged 19 years or older.Methods: Data were obtained from the fifth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2012; N = 5786). TMDs, tinnitus and health-related quality of life were assessed using self-report data from EuroQol-5 Dimension. Participants were divided into four groups: no TMD and no tinnitus, TMD present but no tinnitus, no TMD but tinnitus present and both TMD and tinnitus present.Results: Among the participants, 21.88% had TMD, 24.93% had tinnitus, and 7.74% had both. The prevalence of most TMD and all types of tinnitus was higher among females than among males. The group with both TMD and tinnitus reported the highest percentage of problems in the usual activity, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression dimensions. Moreover, the odds ratio (OR) for lower quality of life was significantly higher in the group with both TMD and tinnitus compared to the group without TMD and tinnitus: mobility (

“…Findings from this study align with existing literature describing common symptoms and effects on functioning among patients with TMDs. Like our study, past studies have found that patients with TMDs report somatic symptoms such as involuntary grinding, clenching, or chewing [19][20][21][22][23][24], jaw pain [25], jaw misalignment or dislocation, jaw noises including clicking and popping [25][26][27][28][29][30], headaches [31][32][33], and ear sensations, such as tinnitus [34][35][36], and deficits in physical function, such as the ability to eat and chew [20,22]. As in our study, affective symptoms including depression and anxiety were particularly prevalent among patients with TMD, especially among those with severe TMDs [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44], as were effects on social function (e.g., restrictions in social interactions due to shame or embarrassment) [45], sleep quality [46][47][48], and sexual function (e.g., loss of sexual interest) [49].…”

Background Understanding symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) can help doctors and patients document, monitor, and manage the disease and help researchers evaluate interventions. Patients with TMDs experience symptoms ranging from mild to severe, primarily in the head and neck region. This study describes findings from formative patient focus groups to capture, categorize, and prioritize symptoms of TMDs towards the development of a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM). Methods We conducted ten focus groups with 40 men and women with mild, moderate, and severe TMD. Focus groups elicited descriptions of symptoms and asked participants to review a list of existing patient-reported outcomes (PROs) from the literature and patient advisor input and speak to how those PROs reflect their own experience, including rating their importance. Results We identified 52 distinct concepts across six domains: somatic, physical, social, sexual, affective, and sleep. Focus groups identified the ability to chew and eat; clicking, popping, and other jaw noises; jaw pain and headaches; jaw misalignment or dislocation; grinding, clenching, or chewing, including at night; and ear sensations as most important. Participants with severe TMDs more often reported affective concepts like depression and shame than did participants with mild or moderate TMDs. Conclusion Findings support PROM item development for TMDs, including selecting existing PROMs or developing new ones that reflect patients’ lived experiences, priorities, and preferred terminology. Such measures are needed to increase understanding of TMDs, promote accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, and help advance research on TMDs.

Quality of life in individuals with tinnitus with and without hearing loss

Purpose: to evaluate the perception of the level of quality of life in subjects with tinnitus, with and without hearing loss. Methods: a cross-sectional quantitative study. A total of 189 subjects (mean age 53.06 years) divided into four groups. Group 1: subjects with normal auditory thresholds without tinnitus complaint; Group 2: subjects with normal auditory thresholds and tinnitus complaint; Group 3: subjects with sensorineural hearing loss without tinnitus complaint; Group 4: subjects with sensorineural hearing loss and with tinnitus complaint. Levels of quality of life were investigated through the World Health Organization Quality Of Life (WHOQOL) website -brief and psycho-emotional and functional aspects of patients with tinnitus through the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI). Statistical analyzes, comparisons among groups and descriptive analysis were performed, considering a significance level of 5%. Results: the overall mean scores of quality of life in group 4 (56.07) were smaller than those of group 1 (64.67) (p<0.05). The subjects with tinnitus complaint presented a moderate level of disturbance of the symptom. Conclusion: tinnitus interferes in the quality of life of individuals who had preserved or altered auditory thresholds. Therefore, means to reduce the discomfort caused by tinnitus symptom should be developed, in order to improve patients' quality of life.
