Pain In Jaw - Ear Ringing - Why Is This Happening?

Pain in the jaw and ear ringing are well known by doctors to be related. This is because the structures of the face and head are all closely linked so a problem with the jaw can lead to a hearing problem which is what is implicated in tinnitus.

TMJ

More accurately, a wide range of jaw problems such as clicking, misalignment, pain and others are known collectively as TMJ which stands for "temporomandibular joint disorder".

Why is TMJ related to tinnitus? Well, TMJ seems to affect the circulation of blood in the nearby areas of the face and it is thought that this can give rise to tinnitus. Tinnitus itself is a complex problem related to not just hearing loss (damage to the hair cells of the cochlea, an organ in the inner ear) but also to some sort of neural or neurological mechanism.

What Should You Do?

In your case, it's recommended that you see an ENT (ear, nose and throat) specialist. In many ways, despite the pain, you are actually "lucky" because you have a form of ear ringing that has a directly attributable primary cause. There are many more tinnitus sufferers who have no idea why they are experiencing ear ringing treatments and feel they can do little about it (actually, there is a lot that they can do).

You may also want to visit your dentist to see what they think. Some dentists can diagnose a misaligned jaw and give you a mouth retainer to wear that will help to realign it correctly, lessen our pain and reduce your tinnitus symptoms.

If your ear ringing does not go away completely, even after any remedial treatment, there are still many things that you can do. Beware of an ENT who advises that you cannot do anything because there are many who are misinformed in this way.

Changes to your diet, your environment and your lifestyle can all have a profound effect if you know what to do. Even some types of supplement can help to reduce your ear ringing intensity. And, remember, even a tiny reduction can have a massive impact in improving your quality of life and is well worth it.
