Ear Problems due to TMJ Disorder
I have jaw popping due to TMJ disorder.
There is no pain, only jaw popping and slight deviation when closing mouth.
But the TMJ Disorder has given me some discomfort in the ears such as ear crackling, ringing in ears and feeling of clogged ears.
Will TMJ treatment eliminate these ear problems?
What are some steps I can take to reduce the ear discomforts from TMJ?
Kindly advise.
