Ear pressure,fullness,crackling,TMJ
I have TMJ disorder and jaw popping.
I also have ringing and crackling sound in ear along with ear pressure and feeling of fullness in the ear.
I would like to know, if the feeling of fullness in ear and crackling in ear is caused by TMJ only, then can an ENT doctor help me to alleviate the pressure and reduce the crackling sound, even if to provide temporary relief?
As in, if the ear is clear and there is no problem in ear as such, and its only due to the TMJ that the ear pressure and crackling is happening, then can an ENT doctor help to alleviate these symptoms? Or only if TMJ is cured it will be relieved?
