5. How TMD Affects the Ears ?
Irritation of the jaw joint can transfer to the ear simply
due to location. The TMJ is located adjacent to the ear,
so swelling and inflammation of the jaw joint often has a
direct effect on the ears.
This inflammation can also cause blocked eustachian
tubes, which results in a plugged or painful feeling in the
ear and difficulty hearing.
The nerves in and around the ears may also be picking
up on these pain and inflammatory signals from the TMJ,
resulting in changes to hearing.

6. Diagnosis
Your doctor or dentist may suspect a TMJ
disorder if you have symptoms of hearing
loss, ear fullness, and tinnitus but don’t
have any signs of an ear infection or other
ear-related condition.
Doctors and dentists can usually diagnose
TMJ disorder based on a physical
examination as well as your medical history.
Panoramic X-rays may be taken to confirm
diagnosis.
