Tinnitus type II : Tinnitus type ii or not ringing, could be cause  by TMJ clicking, middle ear muscle contraction (e.g. Stapidius).  Sound is not ringing, but rushing, clicking, thumping or other atonal sound.

Complicated problem: Depends on what your symptoms are, how bad your symptoms are. Depends on the cause of your TMJ condition. Try self help first, soft diet, application of heat or cold. Massage affected areas. Stress reduction-meditation. Restful sleep, good nutrition. Over the counter anti-inflammatory meds.
If symptoms persist, see a dentist specializing in TMJ disorders.

Reduce inflammation: Do the same thing you would do if any other joint was sore, rest it.  Take advil (ibuprofen) (follow pkg directions).  Use cold compresses 1st 24 house, then warm compresses.  Eat very soft diet (pudding, scrambled eggs, soup, milkshakes, etc). No gum chewing.  But most of all, call your dentist for an emergency appointment.  Need to determine cause of the pain in order to determine the correct treatment.

Question 8

are there any exercises or natural ways to relieve tmj pain?

Accepted Answer

Relax your jaw: Unless there has been some type of trauma to the face or jaw (like getting hit or punched, or falling on your chin), or if there is arthritis in the jaw joint, most TMJ pain is due to grinding or clenching your teeth.

The best way to relieve the pain is to not grind or clench your teeth.  Unless you are chewing food, your teeth should not be touching.  

Check  your dentist about a night guard.

Question 9

Call either an oral surgeon or a prosthodontist who has training in tmj.
