TMJ?: It sounds like you might be grinding your teeth at night. This can led to all of your symptoms including the ear fullness because of the tension placed on the muscles at the joint hooking your jaw to your head. You can try an over the counter moldable mouth guard. You can also have one made by a dentist.

See MD\DDS: See a physician (PCP or ENT specialist) to rule out any medical issues and a DDS (preferably one with extensive training and experience treating patients with TDM\TMJoint issues) for an evaluation and possible conservative treatment options.
