TMJ Ear Pain
Ear Pain: Understanding the TMJ Connection
If you’re experiencing discomfort in your ears, it could be linked to Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) issues, and we’re here to help you find relief.
What is TMJ-Related Ear Pain?
The temporomandibular joint connects your jawbone to your skull and plays a crucial role in facilitating jaw movement. When this joint is not functioning correctly, it can lead to a range of symptoms, including ear pain. TMJ-related ear pain is characterized by discomfort or pain in the ear that originates from dysfunction in the jaw joint.
Symptoms of TMJ-Related Ear Pain
- Sharp or Dull Pain: TMJ-related ear pain can manifest as a sharp or dull ache in or around the ear.
- Tinnitus (Ringing in the Ears): Individuals may experience ringing, buzzing, or hissing sounds in the ears.
- Fullness or Pressure: Some may feel a sense of fullness or pressure in the ear canal.
- Painful Jaw Movement: Pain or discomfort may intensify during jaw movement, such as chewing or yawning.
- Headaches: TMJ-related ear pain is often associated with headaches, especially around the temples.

TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre Changed my life! I didn’t know how much I was suffering until Dr. B and his team helped me through the treatment program. As someone doesn’t trust many doctors, Dr. B and his team talked me through every step of the process and made me feel comfortable. They truly personalize the plan and provide the best care I have ever experienced from a doctor. They did refer me to another doctor to finalize my treatment and that doctor is fantastic as well. You can tell the Dr. B wants to give every patient the best care possible and won’t refer you to just anyone. I completed the program about 2 months ago and I can not believe how great I feel! I have the energy I had in high school again! They are making it possible for me to do things I only dreamed of. It’s truly life changing! I would highly recommend this team to anyone.
