Understanding the connection between these conditions is crucial for effective treatment and improving your quality of life.
What is Meniere’s Disease?
Meniere’s Disease is a disorder of the inner ear that leads to episodes of vertigo (a spinning sensation), hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and a feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear. This condition can significantly impact your daily activities and overall well-being. The exact cause of Meniere’s Disease is not fully understood, but it is believed to result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors, including abnormal fluid in the inner ear.
How Meniere’s Disease Relates to TMJ
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull and plays a vital role in chewing, speaking, and overall jaw movement. TMJ disorders can lead to a range of symptoms, including jaw pain, headaches, and ear-related issues. There is a significant connection between TMJ disorders and Meniere’s Disease. Dysfunction in the TMJ can influence the Eustachian tube, which helps regulate ear pressure, potentially exacerbating symptoms of Meniere’s Disease.
Symptoms of TMJ-related Ear Pain:
Symptoms may include:
- Vertigo: Sudden episodes of dizziness or a spinning sensation.
- Hearing Loss: Fluctuating hearing loss, particularly in one ear.
- Tinnitus: Ringing, buzzing, or roaring sounds in the ear.
- Ear Fullness: A feeling of pressure or fullness in the affected ear.

Jill Krstajic2024-10-31 It is not an understatement to say that Dr Goodfellow and his staff have greatly improved the quality of my life! My TMJ pain was unbearable and as a Dental Hygienist I was actually skeptical that the treatment would work, it did and I am grateful! I would gladly recommend Dr Goodfellow for anyone suffering TMJ and Sleep Issues. Lanndis De Lallo2024-09-30 This device changed my life. I have had TMJ for as long as I can remember with a long history of orthodontic work from childhood. For the first time as an adult, I can control my jaw pain, clicking, locking and tension headaches with the night time appliance, which I wear every night - I can feel the difference even going one night without it. The daytime appliance also makes a big difference and now I can wear it periodically. Dr. Goodfellow, Cathie, Tina and the entire team are delightful, helpful and I can't thank them enough for helping me implement this life changing, non-surgical solution to my TMJ! Steve McDonald2024-09-19 Before being treated by Dr. Goodfellow I had severe jaw pain so bad I sometimes could hardly eat. That pain is now virtually gone. I am so grateful and I highly recommend Dr. Goodfellow! Julia Leclerc2024-07-23 I suffered from severe jaw pain and eventually jaw locking. Dr. Goodfellow not only was able to diagnose the issue, he was able to completely redirect my jaw and sleeping patterns with the mouth guard that I now wear to sleep every night. I don’t even get headaches anymore! The difference has been incredible and I am forever grateful. Highly recommend Dr. Goodfellow and his staff. Sandy Hale2024-07-09 I feel very positive about the treatment I received from Dr. Goodfellow and his team over a six month period. My TMJ disorder symptoms have been resolved to the point where I am almost pain free every day. Dr. Goodfellow helped me to understand both the causes of my jaw issues and how the treatments would work towards healing. His staff are friendly, accommodating and extremely knowledgeable and helped to allay any fears I had about treatments. I highly recommend TMJ & Sleep Therapy to any and all persons suffering from TMJ disorders. Anthony Hajsan2024-07-04 Dr. Goodfellow is a good fellow (I know, so original)! This is the only place that has helped with my TMJ. oren dishy2024-04-02 I've had a click in my jaw for over 30 years and over the past year it was constant pain and difficulty chewing. Dr. Goodfellow and his staff provided me with a non-invasive appliance one for the day and one for night and within 6 months I was pain and click free. It's as if I have brand new jaw with no issues whatsoever. Without a doubt, the best medical treatment I've ever received. I would give six stars if it was available. Paula Carmona-Murphy2024-01-22 After years of dealing with TMJ pain (and trying different types of appliances) I saw Dr. Goodfellow. I am thrilled with the results. Dr. Goodfellow and his staff are amazing! Shicheng Wu2024-01-11 Solved on my jaw pain and overbite issues in an efficient way.
