My T gets louder with jaw movement or when I yawn.  I felt that this could
be TMJ related. On the questionaire in the office,I could relate to a lot of
the questions.  The nurse said there that of the people who had T and were
cured by TMJ type of treatments, they tended to have high pitched T, like
me.
Tests came back negative, although there was swelling in my right muscle
near my right ear where my T is.  She talked like it was not related to my
T, but I'm going to try advil to be sure.
I was sure they were going to say something, but came back dissappointed.
Just venting ...

It's very common for T to change in pitch -- usually louder -- when you
yawn, clench your teeth, etc.  And most T is high-pitched.  Unless you
have other symptoms of TMJ disorder -- pain in your jaw, locking jaw,
trouble opening or closing your mouth, the chances are almost zero that
TMJ treatment will be of any help whatsoever.

Most people with tinnitus can increase/decrease it with jaw or other muscle
tension changes.

Most people withOUT tinnitus can temporarily produce it with jaw or other
muscle tension changes.

This does not appear to have anything to do with TMJ problems, though there
may be a rare exception.

Jim, like many others I share this effect.

Is it known what what parts are actually being squeezed when one thrusts the
jaw forward?

Advil can aggrevate tinnitus.
