Common Questions and Answers about Jaw pain causes ringing
jaw-pain
I have pain in the lower right jaw around where the jaw curves close to, but below, the ear. I recently went to the dentist and xrays showed no problems, and there is no tooth pain. I do not have my tonsils and my glands are not swollen. Are there nerves that feed through this area? I can't understand why this pain is here. It seems to go away for a few days but then comes back without cause.
Very tender to the touch. Do you have any idea what I can do or who I should see for this problem?
I have had ringing in the ears for quite some time. I have pain in my left jaw and ear. Both ears seam "full". When I talk I can hear myself like when you have a cold. I have been diagnosed with TMJ and I am now going to a special physical therapist for TMJ. THis is starting help the jaw pain. Prior to that I had seen a doctor who gave me a mouth piece to wear to help align my jaw and help the TMJ. Another symptom I have is the loss of smell which in turn gives me a loss of taste.
Could also be from your dental work. Your jaw could have been thrown slightly out of line, which causes it to click. Neck injuries can also cause odd sensations and noises. If I turn my head too far to the right, I feel like I am not getting enough oxygen to my brain, and start hearing the "swooshing" sound of my heart. I thought it was high blood pressure and went running off to the doctor the first time it happened!
Although I still have tightness and pain in back of neck, more chronic problem has become constant pressure in ears (mostly right ear) and ringing in ears. Maybe I had the ringing all along and was too distracted with all other discomfort. Pressure in ears very uncomfortable. Also, occasional aching in jaw bone in front of right ear. Some clicking in right jaw bone when massaged up and down.
ve been paying more attention to things that affect the ringing in some way, and discovered that when I put pressure on the left side of my head above my ear, the ringing gets louder in my left ear, and when I put pressure on the right side, the ringing gets louder in my right ear. I guess this is in the same vein as when I said it gets worse when I bite down hard.
Does this mean anything? Is it possible the ringing is pressure related?
A dangerous sound is anything that is 85 dB or higher. But with this you should have hearing loss. The pain could be due to other causes like infections or inflammation in the ear. Sometimes it could also be referred pain, like temporomandibular joint (jaw joint) pain. You will need to consult your primary care physician for further evaluation, who may then refer you to an ENT specialist. In the meantime you can take OTC pain medication Ibuprofen.
About 2 years ago I went through a lot of jaw pain while eating, then suddenly when I lay down, my right jaw clicked out of place and ringing in the ear began. I thought it would return to position, but did not, and the ringing continued. I have arthritis, high bp and am 56 y o female.

I have heard the jaw shares the same nerve with the ear. If the TMJ is sore/spastic that the pain can be referred to the ear. Does anyone have experience with this situation?

The area of pain can stretch from the lower jaw area right up to my ear and can even give me neck pain. It causes pain when I open my mouth wide and always feels like the bones are 'clicking' and 'clunking' out of place. I have had phisio on the joint but that is only a stretch of the muscle and the pan is always present. None of the doctors I have seen can give me a strtaight answer.
Sinusitis, refractive errors of the eye, migraine, cluster headaches, brain tumors, high blood pressure, tension headaches, temporal arteritis, pinched cervical spinal nerve, TMJ, poor or disturbed sleep etc are several causes of headaches. Dental pain and ear ache due to infection or impacted wax can cause similar symptoms. Needless to say, a persisting headache should be investigated. Please consult a headache and migraine specialist to rule out these causes one by one. Take care!

I think ringing ears very possibly has something to do with anxiety as I have been experiencing it on and off for years. Mind you, my husband has it too and he doesn't have an anxiety disorder. It could very well have something to do with air pressure, also...but I think we (people with anxiety) are more inclined to have it because we are very sensitive to everything.
