    Somatic Tinnitus Causes (TMJ, Neck, etc.): Is There a Way to Tell?

    @KWC TMJ disorders typically start with some type of trauma, such as head and neck whiplash, overstretching of the lower jaw, or trauma around the lower jaw or chin. The resulting injury to the ligaments within the TMJ results in slippage of the disk. Any of this can cause somatic tinnitus...
