See your dentist: The removal of wisdom teeth can present some complications. Also, after the removal of wisdom teeth, it can change the way your teeth hit together which can affect your tmj. The TMJ is directly in front of your ear canal and TMJ dysfunction can sometimes affect your ear in different ways. See your dentist for an evaluation.

TMJ/TMD?: Appears that you may have tmj/tmd issues, but unsure. I would see a dentist who treats tmj/tmd or try and be referred to a TMJ specialist. You can look up other symptoms associated with tmj/tmd on the web. It might help. My website www.Jbassmantmj.Com lists some of these.
