Characteristics of somatic tinnitus patients with and without hyperacusis
Fig 3
Comparison of somatic disorder history and tinnitus modulation.
(A) Percentages of somatic tinnitus patients with (ST+HY) and without (ST) hyperacusis with temporomandibular joint (TMJ), head and neck (NECK) and TMJ+NECK problems among those with a history of somatic disorders. (B) Percentages of tinnitus modulation following TMJ, NECK and TMJ+NECK maneuvers among ST+HY vs. ST patients. TMJ+NECK history (p = 0.05) and modulation (p<0.001) were significantly more common in ST+HY than in ST patients.
