What is Causing Your TMJ Ear Pain? - Diagnose and Treat - Ear Problems 

I massaged my left side for 5 minutes (both for 3 minutes), and I could feel the relief afterwards! RU-vid is the best! Thank you!!!

I’ve had this pain for over 2 months now, send prayers

Am i the onlyone watching this with really bad ear pain

Thank you I had pain for 4 days I did this exercise and pain was gone in matter of seconds God bless you

Video starts from 3:50

I had chronic ear pain from TMJ. I started getting Botox in the jaw muscles near my ear and it is life changing! No more ear pain.

I can’t sleep at night it’s so god damn hard I’ve had this for at least 4 days it’s the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced

It hurts my jaw when i open my jaw widely ughhhh

I woke up and my right ear was hurting really bad I was crying from pain so I watch this thank you dude

I genuinely want to say thank you for this video, the TMJ exercise at the end with the pivating back and forth and push down movement really helped. I stumbled on this video desperately looking for some sort of relief from this jaw tenderness and I found it in this video. Thanks again for the content!

Thank you so much for making my requested video! I am trying out the self-massage techniques and I already feel instant tension relief. These are different self-massages that I didn't see in other videos. I already saw a ENT when this first started in 2012 and they ruled out an ear issue. So I think I need to see a professional physical therapist thank you for helping clear the confusion of what to do/who to go to. I wish I knew this back in 2012 when it originally started, so i'm sure you will help people who just started experiencing TMJ pains. Mine gets so bad these days that sometimes my ear closes up completely for a full day due to TMJ pressure. Chris P

Have had this earache for a week and having severe ear pain today Doing this exercise dropped the pain from a 9 to an 8 almost immediately. Even though it's only a slight reduction at least the frequency of the dreadful sharp pain has reduced which helps a lot. Thank you so much for your video and the time you took to offer guidance.

Thank you so much! Been wondering why I had such pain and a bump at my right side. This explains it. Also have tinnitus rn. So I’m gonna keep on massaging it and hope it all goes away!

Its if you got a toothache but in your ear

First video, I've seen where someone seems to know the correct answer, well done.

Dear Dr. Cliff, I've had TMJ for over 30 years. Two surgeries, and no relief. I will try the muscle massage you showed in this video! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Of all the videos I watched and followed instruction. This is the one that made a difference and really helped me thank you so so much! ❤️

It actually stopped paining.. Thank you so much for your help. God bless you😇

This hurts so bad its like every second someone is stabbing you

My jaw hurts whenever i try to eat something and while chewing

One thing that was working for me was to tilt your head sideways with the clogged ear and bring your head down to a low altitude. Whether it’s the bottom of your house or something like that, the low altitude can pop it with time.

Man most ENTs had no idea and some of them told me it was in my head.

omg you saved my from my pain it took about 30 mins

bro you have no idea how much i fucking love you right now it feels like you just saved my life or something i can finally eat without just popopopopopop i hope you live an amazing life

Omg I'm also a massage therapist! The ears always confused me because we didnt learn about it in school so I came here to learn more!

i’m 14 and i don’t know what’s wrong with my ear it hurts to move my jaw and this pain goes away after two weeks but always come back it’s been happening for three years someone help

Thank u so much, i was suffering from pain past 3 days,i just did that,really I got relief..gbu 🥰

Today is the fifth day I felt this pain.. hue hue :( It caused toothache and hard headache.. oh hell! I wanna feel well asap..

I'm actually not sure if I have TMJ or " Occipital neurotica " but seems like iv diagnosed myself. I'm not getting the help from docs because, they don't know what they doin anymore, so many doctors now don't care about their patients they just like the pay check, and hurry you out... Next " Iv had this pain for yrs 😔 Do you give advice via email!? I seriously need some professional advice!? iv been suffering for a very long time.

Thank you. God bless you. I will do what you recommended. My both ears are killing me.

I can’t tell if mine is ear pain or TMJ, and well I don’t want to cause any trouble and the medical center is full so I just have to get over it 😢

Your a genius . Hope we have lasting peace

Should I get ear wax removal or my ears checked out?!?!

Ear drops don't flow into my ear. They just sit in my ear until I move my head and then the liquid flows out. Is this something I need to be concerned with? I have had pain behind my right ear when I've gotten up the last two days (the kind of pain signal that will prevent one from moving their head to avoid an increase in pain to unbearable levels).

That massage worked instantly, thanks!

It soo painful cuz hurt soo much it hurt every 5-10Second

I cant sleep, my left ear hurts so bad

It hurted so bad on my birthday cuz my ear hurted so bad I was crying for real!!!

My jaw is fine. But i feel like my ears are gonna explode and they itch AND THEYRE CLOGGED, i wanna rip them off:(( i HATE ear infections i had one last year but it was way worse than rn. Im praying for everyone, please pray for me.

Before, my right jaw clicks and locks from time to time then go away. But this time is different. It's been weeks already and it is starting to hurt my ear too. I cannot get a check up because of corona virus 😞

MY JAW DOESNT HURTS i am freaking out please help me its only with my ear and i am 100% ITS MY EAR i am trying to stick my finger inside

I have this pain rn, it hurts so bad and it’s so annoying I can’t even do something without the pain distracting me :/

That technique works I highly recommended thank you so much

I don’t what it is but right under my ear there a bump and it hurts so much to my jaw as well

I was able to rule out ear infection by experimenting with nights when I try to avoid sleeping with my head turned to the left and then sleeping with it to the left purposely. When I would sleep on the left side awake long enough, I would notice the pain slowly creeping in. I also further ruled out what I initially thought was an ear issue by doing recommended exercises I saw online and the sensation I was having immediately went away for about an hour or so at a time after doing them. I have just started doing this, so we'll see if I can correct it on my own, but now I think it is most likely related to sleeping with my elbow and hand to my face in the past when napping on a chair and I messed myself up.

I can’t sleep it hurts so much

This just happened the other day, the way it happened was I was watching a video and I yelled because of my reaction towards the video and then I heard a pop and it hurts every time I talk I hear a clicking sound and my jaw has been killing me I thought it was my ears but I went to the doctor and he said my ears are fine and clear so he gave me a nasal spray and thought it was just allergies but I’ve been using the nasal spray and that does nothing now my left ear feels clogged and my lower left jaw hurts

I've had bad ear pain, Jaw pain, throat pain for 3 months now and I've been to 10 specialists. 5 ents who have told me my ears look perfectly normal, but I tell them how could this be if my ears hurts non stop. I do here some click on each side everytime I open my jaw. I have also developed tinnitus and I don't know what else to do. This is exteemyl stressful and pain ful and no doctor understands it because my ears look perfectly normal and my vestibular nerve, hearing test are normal.

My ear Hurts, I think it’s because I went in my pool but I haven’t been able to get any sleep? Idk what it is

I heard a snap when i moved my jaw and it's hurting alot one side..

ear caused pain start at morning first time its like somerhing in ear or that think increase and cause more pain while sleeping

I've had bad ear problems all my life and now this is happening I don't know what to do

Pretty much I was eating and I heard something pop on my right side and it started hurting after that. Can anyone help me?

Thank you for this video. I started noticing problems with my jaw and ear at 32 weeks pregnant and after having dental work done and my 6 month cleaning. The obgyn won't give antibiotics until it has been bothering me for more than a week, super frustrating, but protocol is protocol for a reason.

My pain started after the dentist took out my wisdom tooth... I'm assuming it's because how wide my mouth was open.. it's been 8 days

I can’t take this ear pain it’s hurting right now I can’t even get good sleep.

can dental filling work cause ear pain and jaw pain afterwards

I can't even eat a sandwich peacefully 😭😭😭

my jaw and whole ear hurts so bad and i’ve been loosing sleep because of this. yesterday i stayed up till 5 am and today i woke up at 6 am after going to sleep at 4 am 😵‍💫

Had pain for 8 weeks after terrible cold but have an HMO. Hard to get a specialist c😥

Hello, I'm trying to figure out what on earth is going on with me. About almost a week ago, both of my ears were starting to hurt unexpectedly so I went to a health clinic. There is nothing noticeablly wrong with my ears; looking at them with the naked eye. No redness, swelling, discharge etc. So the doctor said that it was an infection of the outer ear & prescribed me with an ear drop & some ibuprofen. But nothing is helping & the pain in my ears have gotten severely WORSE! Then just yesterday, all of a sudden the right side of my jaw started hurting & locking up on me & now I can't open my mouth very wide without being in excruciating pain... I have no clue what's going on & it's really starting to scare me. I can't even lay on either side of my face due to the severe pain in my ears. Gonna go see my primary doc & see if she can refer me to an ears, nose & throat doctor. Can you or someone in the comments maybe help me out at all? Like, does any of my symptoms sound familiar?

Right now I'm suffering from this problem

Is it normal for the tmj to be inflamed? My right tmj is a lot bigger than my left

I have TMJ really badly. When I eat it hurts so badly. Right now I have a lump under my ear right now and pain as well. I don't know why it hurts or if its hurting from my TMJ. I will be keeping an eye and fingers on it for a few days and see if it gets any bigger or not or if it doesn't go away. If it doesn't go away in a few days to a week I am heading to the doctors.

OMG I have a massive knot in my left masseter that I never noticed before. Thanks!

sir i had pain in one side that in ear and wen i start to eat the left side jaws get more pain and wat can i do sir

I'm going trough this right now! I don't know if my streesed muscles on my neck is causing my pain on my ear. It's like a throbbing pain on my ear and jaw area!

It hurst my left jaw/ear. I think it's because I sometimes put my airpods on at night to watch something in order to fall asleep and the pressure applied on my left whatever caused this pain after a few weeks/months.

Man, first I get a sore throat and it hurts to swallow anything and everything, then a day later its the same but now there's ear pain when I eat along with a sore throat. Hell nah.

Hello Doctor, I've been having pain in the vocal cords for a long time. I have shown to many doctors that you have a reflex of E.N.T. I have been avoiding sleep for a long time. There is no difference between incline bed and gold idol! As I sing, my vocal cords get tired quickly. I have had this problem for 8 years. Then I heard about TMJ. When I eat something hard, it pulls on the muscles. And has a VOCAL PAIN. Please fix me. Thank you very much.

Moving it from side to side feels like I’m breaking my jaw idk what to do

Very helpful...thanks a million Doc...👍👌😊

The sad thing is it is not easily curable disease based on the comments I've seen in this video. Just got this pain from 3 days back, it never stops. This making me feel very down.

My right ear hurts when I chew down,and I think it's tmj bc I feel a bit of pain behind and over the ear,the last 2 days I've been resting my head with my jaw,wich is why I think that's the cause,moral of this,do not extensively byte or put pressure on your jaw for long periods of time.

I used to have water stuck in my ear for ages but then it went away now I have a pain in my jaw and my ear

i cant sleep on my right ear without cupping my hand to protect it, its killing me feels like i broke my ear or something

Thanks for your good information, I have pain in my left ear especially at night when I sleep on the left side. The deep pain in my left ear makes me up. Almost half of my head has pain when I turn to the right side pain gradually disappears. I visited the doctors several times they just had visualization which does not show any problem and I do not have any sign or sympathy of anything, However, I am an adult now but I had ear pain problems from childhood. I would be thankful if you give me some advice.

This video was super helpful! Thank you!

My husband head is hurting on his head and now his ears are swollen and it hurts him.

Very Deep and valuable information

I feel I m having pain in my right ear is bcoz of using headphones, do I need to visit the ENT?

I am going through hell rn, not only does my jaw hurt to close or fully open it. My ear is in so much pain when I touch it it hurts and I also have a pimple in there so I’m getting double the pain from my ear

my ear has been blocked for almost 2 weeks and I have tmp problems. I dunno what's going on

I can't find the 'mystery condition' I have on YT or on Mayo clinic chat--a large group of us have severe, unexplained outer ear cartilage sensitivity. it is so sensitive, we cannot lie down with the ear touching anything, not even a pillow! no side sleeping for any of us and it sucks. a hat or phone touching the ear for a normal period of time causes pain. the condition is not relapsing polychondritis and it is not an inner ear autoimmune disease (yes that's a thing) could it be tmj? i have no jaw pain- this absolutely sucks. good luck everyone

God bless you thank you very much was in pain for a week🙏🏽♥️

I m struggling frm this pain, my right ear is paining when I swallow food, sometime it goes away BT it come again 😢 I can't able to eat frm 3 days Even I used ear infection drop nd ear wax drop 😢

Idk I don’t have pain on my tmj but it feels werid it feels like someone is slightly pushing their fingers on my tmj but my left ear hurts and when I move my jaw a bit it kinda hurt my ears.

Why do my eardrums vibrates with pain & pop by itself while making a hissing sound it’s making me feel really depressed

Even when I would yawn it hurt so bad

I can feel knots in my jaw but my ear hurts

Thank you for tjis video i will apply this masaage i have tinitus and earpain i dont what is the cause.

@Doctor Cliff - Does the thinning of articular disc heal? Can that be a cause of pain in the ear / TMJ when trying to open the jaw entirely. Will these same exercises help in the healing process and or should I try something else?

When I chew on my right side it hurts really bad and it’s a sharp pain
