Best Answer

Temporomandibular joint disorder can manifest as "ear pain" but this is simply due to sensory nerves of the joint being in close proximity to the auditory apparatus. More than likely, TMD will not self-resolve without intervention. It would be wise to seek professional help to learn about non-invasive methods of treating early/minor symptoms.

I had never had a TMJ problem before I was fitted for in the ear canal hearing aids. However, since I began wearing the aids I have had a significant problem. As a medical professional in private practice, I am convinced that the hearing aids caused my TMJ. My answer to your question is a definite yes!
