Temporomandibular joint disorder, or TMJ syndrome, is an acute or chronic inflammation of the temporomandibular joint, which connects the lower jaw to the skull. The disorder and resultant dysfunction can result in significant pain and impairment.
I have sever tinnitus plus TMJ and cervical spine spondylosis. Is there anybody suffering from all these ?
Neck problems and Ear symptoms are VERY common problems that people who suffer from TMJ experience.
For reasons why your TMJ is causing ear problems watch this youtube video I made for my patients who suffer from TMJ:
