Abstract
This clinical investigation of nine human volunteers with unilateral temporomandibular joint sound was undertaken to study sound transfer to the contralateral side, and the effect on sound amplitude and frequency using two different recording sites, i.e., the external auditory meatus (EAM} and the zygomatic process of the temporal bone (TEMP). Sound recordings were made with solid state instrumentation and analyzed for amplitude and frequency content. The results indicate contralateral sound transfer; there was no difference in amplitude and frequency content between recording sites.
