Reply #10: TMJ disorder can cause tinnitus (ringing in the ear)

[Pooka Fey]

Now I don't want to get sued, so this is not medical advice BUT, I got TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder - your jaw joint) after I was rear-ended in a car accident. If you were hit recently in the face, in an accident, or if you grind your teeth at night - from stress (some people don't realize they are doing this) that could be your answer.
I had to waste money on 3 doctors before any of them put 2 and 2 together to get me the proper diagnosis. Are you also getting headaches, dull aching pain around the ears , sensitivity to loud noises, jaw pain, or clicking or popping when you open your mouth?
If you think this might be the cause, write me back and I'll tell you some things to get some relief.
