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.
