Hmmm: Not sure, but if there is a question about hearing, you should get a hearing test. I would recommend an evaluation by your doctor to be sure everything looks okay.

Hard to say: Glad that your symptoms are diminishing. Tmj/tmd symptoms can often recycle, and come back. Tmj/tmd is never really cures, just maintained. So i would be checked at least twice a year and followed up to make sure that your symptoms now are something that means a change for the better or worse.

Trend imortant: Trends are important and suggestive. The fact your symptoms are easing up is a good sign. Keep up with your treatment.
