About this trial
This clinical trial aims to investigate whether treatment of temporomandibular joint disorder with a stabilizing occlusal splint is justified to alleviate somatosensory tinnitus. The main questions we aim to answer are:
* Determine if treatment of temporomandibular disorder with a stabilizing occlusal splint improves somatosensory tinnitus. * Identify which patient-related, tinnitus-related, and temporomandibular disorder-related factors contribute to the therapeutic effect.
