TMJ Meniere’s Disease

Addressing Meniere’s Disease with TMJ Treatment Solutions

At TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Temecula and Hemet, we understand the complex interplay between temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction and various health issues. One such condition intricately connected to TMJ disorders is Meniere’s Disease. Meniere’s Disease is a disorder of the inner ear that affects both balance and hearing. It is characterized by recurring episodes of vertigo, fluctuating hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and a feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear. These symptoms can be debilitating and significantly impact one’s quality of life.

Research has shown a significant association between TMJ dysfunction and Meniere’s Disease. The temporomandibular joint, located just in front of the ears, plays a crucial role in the body’s balance and posture mechanisms. Dysfunction in this joint can lead to disturbances in the vestibular system, contributing to symptoms akin to those experienced in Meniere’s Disease. These symptoms may include: Vertigo, Fluctuating Hearing Loss, Tinnitus (aka persistent ringing, buzzing, or roaring sounds in the ear), or Aural Fullness (sensation of pressure or fullness in the ear).
