There are many causes of tinnitus; from loud noise damage (most common) to ear infections and jaw problems.
Yes, jaw problems (temporomandibular joint disorder) does cause tinnitus. However, I listened to a doctor of the neck and head institute of Michigan on a Michigan radio program who says that TMJ also comes with a lot of headache problems, too.
The most current research says that tinnitus is a sort of "hidden" hearing loss. For example, the brain creates the ringing sound as a sort of defense, to fill the gap, of actual hearing loss.
This research shows that it is something that is not happening in the ears, but in the brain. This was tested. People who could not stand the ringing offered to have their auditory nerves severed. This meant, they would sacrifice their hearing (hopefully they had it in just one ear). The results? Although they could no longer hear, the ringing did not go away. It remained the same.
Also, the research shows certainly that people with tinnitus have weakened nerve fibers that run from the choclea into the brain.
The report comes from the most recent issue of Science News Magazine.
Of people with tinnitus, about half just live with it and naturally adjust or adapt to it (as a three-legged dog gets along fine, seemingly unhampered.)
Another direction of research points to neurons misfiring in the auditory cortex of the brain.

What is the medical term meaning ringing in the ear?
The proper term for ringing buzzing or roaring in the ears is Tinnitus. The proper medical way to pronounce it is TIN-nit-us, not tin-I-tus (the second pronunciation would denote an inflammation, which tinnitus is not). There are many causes of tinnitus, but in general it is caused by a disruption in the auditory pathway to the brain. The brain tries to interpret the random misfiring that this disruption causes, but it cannot. The hearing center of the brain (temporal lobe) sends the signal to the thinking part of your brain (frontal cortex) to help it out. When it reaches the frontal cortex is when you first perceive it. Hench, you then hear Tinnitus.

Yes, it actually can resolve on it's own. It may take a long time (months, even years), but improvement may be seen. However, Tinnitus can have a lot of causes. If the Tinnitus is caused by damage to the inner ear through, for example, noise trauma, it's less likely to disappear over time.
