Possible TMD: A popping a clicking sound near your ear is a classic sign of TMJ dysfunction. However, a complete evaluation is needed by a TMJ specialist to diagnose this as the cause. Other symptoms you may experience but may not have connected to these could be headaches, neck pain, sensitive teeth, difficulty in opening your mouth wide without pain in your jaw joint. See a TMJ dentist soon.
