    TMJ, Neck Issues, Hyperacusis and Tinnitus

    Thank you, makes sense! I'm pretty sure it is allergies related to the dry desert climate I live in. It has been windy quite often the past several months however, normally my allergies present with sneezing runny nose, etc; but not now. I haven't had allergies bother me in over a year and a...

    TMJ, Neck Issues, Hyperacusis and Tinnitus

    Last several days I have also had jaw pain (more soreness I guess) right next to my ear and neck pain as well, which is causing ear pain.

    New and Looking for Answers/Support

    Hi Everyone, My name is Karla and I don't know really where to begin but here goes. I have had T for awhile but that bad. So, about 3 weeks ago I was at work and got this awful pain in my right ear -- sharp at first then a painful dull ache that wouldn't go away. So I'm thinking ear...
