A member asked:
Can ringing in your ear or middle ear infection cause your throat and jaw line to hurt without having any painor discomfort in your ears?

Sometimes: Ringing in the ears (tinnitus) can be one of many symptoms of TMJ dysfunction. Other symptoms can include jaw pain, jaw joint popping when opening, headaches in the temple or back of the neck area, tenderness around the TMJ and ear area. A highly trained dentist in this area can help determine if all are related. If not, a ENT physician would be the one to see.

Ringing in ears: Tinnitus can be caused by infection, environmental insults, circulatory problems, and rarely TMJ, among other causes. The pain in your jaw may not be from the same causes. Important that you be examined by both your General Dentist and your General Physician to determine cause/treatment.
