What does it mean when the place between your jaw and ear hurts and swelled up?
TMJ
Why do I get sore muscles on my scalp that affect my ear as well?
Look into seeing if you have TMJ
What are the common symptoms of TMJ?
The most common symptoms of TMJ are pain in the face or ear area. If you are experiencing these symptoms it is recommended that you visit your primary care physician immediately.
What is the difference between tmj and tetanus?
There are nearly no similarities, at all, with the exception of location. Tetanus is a disease that can cramp and lock your jaw muscles, preventing normal eating. TMJ is an abbreviation for your jaw joint, just under your ear. TMJ stands for 'temporo-mandibular joint. When people say, "I have TMJ", they really mean that they have a TMJ disorder which can range from the TMJ popping when the mouth is opened or closed all the way to an actual dislocation of the TMJ when the mouth is opened or closed.
What could it be if you can feel something as hard as bone inside your ear and it's above your TMJ?
If you can feel something as hard as bone inside your ear, located above your TMJ, it could be a bone spur or other growth. It should be checked by a doctor to make sure it is not likely to become a problem.
Is ear noise normal everytime I swallow?
My guess is it's NOT normal because I have that problem, and no one else I know does. When I swallow there is a sort of popping/crunching sound in my ears that only I can hear. I do know that I also happen to have TMJ, and none of these symptoms began to occur until my wisdom teeth were left impacted too long. The TMJ symptoms started, as well as the ear popping. Even a year after the extractions these problems continue. My guess is that the TMJ and ear popping are related somehow. When I mention it to doctors or dentists they tend to brush it off.
What might cause numbness of right temple. No soreness when touched. Only noticed when I felt the area?
If it is soreness in the temple toward the ear or around the ear you might want to look into TMJ.
Is something wrong with your ear if you hear a crackling rice-krispie sound when you chew?
It could be fluid in the ear or a problem with the temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ - where the jaw attaches to the rest of the skull).
Where does the outer ear stop?
The outer ear is made up of the pinna, ear canal, and eardrum. It ends with the eardrum. The middle ear is made up of the hammer, anvil, and then stirrup. The innner ear is made up of the chocela, oval window, auditory nerve, and then the Eustachian Tube.
Why does the area right under your ear hurt when you chew?

Can eczema in the ear cause headaches?
No. The left side of the head does not connect to the eardrum, while the right ear Is slightly from a %10 chance that It Is connected to the ear Infection or the eardrum.
Can you have tmj in your back?
The TMJ, or temporomandibular joint, is the joint of the jaw. So no, it is not physically possible to have TMJ in your back.
