A prosthesis for insertion in an ear to reduce pain resulting from TMJ disorders. The ear insert has a predefined shape conforming to the shape of the ear canal when the jaw is in an open position. The ear insert supports the TMJ and associated secondary musculature to reduce strain in the TMJ area, including the muscles, ligaments, nerves, and the temporo-mandibular joint itself. The insert is hollow in the inside to permit hearing and is made of a rigid material which retains the shape of the ear canal. A scalloped indenture extends across a surface of the ear insert positioned behind the tragus.

L'invention porte sur une prothèse pour une introduction dans une oreille pour réduire une douleur résultant de troubles de l'articulation temporo-mandibulaire. L'insert auriculaire a une forme prédéfinie se conformant à la forme du canal auriculaire lorsque la mâchoire est dans une position ouverte. L'insert auriculaire supporte l'articulation temporo-mandibulaire et la musculature secondaire associée pour réduire une contrainte dans la zone de l'articulation temporo-mandibulaire, comprenant les muscles, les ligaments, les nerfs et l'articulation temporo-mandibulaire elle-même. L'insert est creux à l'intérieur pour permettre l'audition et est constitué d'un matériau rigide qui maintient la forme du canal auriculaire. Une indentation cannelée s'étend à travers une surface de l'insert auriculaire positionné derrière le tragus.
