Well hello!
Hearing loss is one of the most common findings that I find in my TMJ patients.
The anatomy of the TMJ is like a "Mickey Mouse balloon inside of a balloon". This capsule is full of fluid that causes pressure on the anatomical parts of the ear when the TMJ is not normal.
To correct this hearing problem the temporomandibular joint must be stabilized normal position with conservative treatment. The swelling will then subside and hearing dramatically returns.
Conservative solutions to both your TMJ and hearing issues are available. Get it checked out.
