Absolutely, along with concentrating, breathing, swallowing, and just about every other move you make while awake can aggravate it.

I currently work as a call center CSR and pretty much talk for 8 hours a day and within the last year my jaw and ear pain has gotten progressively worse. Now I have ringing which maakes it's nearly impossible to concentrate on anything - I feel like Im going insane.

your not insane. But you are most likely doing alot of clenching in your sleep, that will give you alot of "ringing". An NTI would be a great place to start.

I love to talk so what I had to learn to do is talk with my teeth closer together, some of us are more expressive and move our jaw more.
Good luck, Jeremey has a great idea...

Yep. I'm a yapper too. BUT, I do have an NTI that protects me from clenching at night.The ringing in the ear thing is very common among people with TMJ.Mine comes and goes, but, is aggravating when I have it. You will probably notice several "quirky" symptoms with this condition. Rest assured, some, if not all, of us have dealt with most them. Good luck to you.
