TMJ Ear Pain

Understanding TMJ-Related Ear Pain

At TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of the Greater Toronto Area, we understand the discomfort and frustration that comes with ear pain, especially when it’s related to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues. Our specialized team is here to provide comprehensive care and relief for individuals experiencing TMJ-related ear pain.

What is TMJ-related Ear Pain?

If you’re experiencing discomfort in your ears, it could be linked to issues with your jaw joint.  TMJ-related ear pain occurs when the temporomandibular joint, which connects your jawbone to your skull, experiences dysfunction. This dysfunction can lead to various symptoms, including ear pain, because the TMJ is situated close to the ears and shares certain nerves.

Symptoms of TMJ-related Ear Pain:

Symptoms may include:

• Earache: Persistent or intermittent pain in one or both ears.
• Ear pressure: Feeling of fullness or pressure in the ears.
• Tinnitus: Ringing, buzzing, or other noises in the ears.
• Vertigo: Dizziness or a sensation of spinning.
• Headaches: Chronic headaches, often radiating from the temples or behind the eyes.
