ABSTRACT
Tinnitus is a common problem in daily otology practise. It
is usually subjective. Objective tinnitus which is audible for both the patient
and clinician consist of 5% of all tinnitus cases. It is important to distinguish
objective tinnitus cases, becasue they are able to be curable when
underlying cause is eliminated. Objective tinnitus is caused usually by
environmental structures such as muscles, eustachian tube and temporomandibuler
joint (TMJ). TMJ disorders can affect the ear due to proximity.
This area should not be ignored in differential diagnosis. Dehiscence
of TMJ was presented as an objective tinnitus cause in this paper.
Keywords: Mastication; tinnitus
ÖZET
Tinnitus günlük otoloji pratiğinde sık rastlanan bir problemdir.
Genellikle subjektif tinnitus ile karşılaşılır. Hem hasta hem de hekim
için duyulabilir olan objektif tinnitus, tinnitus vakalarının %5'ini oluşturur.
Objektif tinnitusun ayrımı önemlidir, çünkü altta yatan sebebin tedavisi
ile düzeltilebilir. Objektif tinnitus sıklıkla çevre yapılardan
gelişir, örneğin; kaslar, östaki tüpü ve temporomandibular eklem
(TME). TME hastalıları yakınlığından dolayı kulağı etkileyebilir. Bu
alan ayırıcı tanıda ihmal edilmemelidir. Yazıda objektif tinnitusun bir
sebebi olarak TME dehisansı sunulmuştur.
