: My ears pop frequently when I move my jaw. Does anyone else have this symptom? When I swallow, my ear's pop, and sometimes when I'm just speaking. I had my ears checked and they are fine. I hadn't heard of TMJ before, but I have a lot of the symptoms - grinding, clenching, pressure and dull ache in my jaw, pressure down the sides of my neck. My bite doesn't fit together well, but my jaw doesn't click. Is this TMJ and does anyone have ears that pop and change pressure often?

SHER,
WHAT YOU HAVE SOUNDS ALOT LIKE TMJ. I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH TMJ. MY JAW NEAR MY EAR GETS SORE AND TIRED, THERE IS AN AWFUL CRUNCHING NOISE IN MY EAR, AND I HAVE ALOT OF HEADACHES. MY EARS SOMETIMES FEEL FULL AND ITCH. GO SEE YOUR DENTIST HE'LL BE ABLE TO HELP. GOOD LUCK..
