Tinnitus and Bad Teeth - Connection?

Posted by Shelly (Virginia) on 06/08/2026

I have loose implants and broken teeth exposing metal fillings. Chemo made it worse and teeth grinding. My question is would this cause tinnitus?

Hi Shelly,

Yes, teeth problems can cause tinnitus, especially the closer the tooth is to the ear as the nerves in that area can be adversely affected. The teeth grinding can also be a problem. A brux guard can be helpful for the teeth grinding.
