Does anyone else suffering with tmj and associated ear symptoms also get vertigo?

Yes: Your balance is directly related to the functions in your inner ear. Tmj disorders can be debilitating and compounding it with ear probs could easily leave you dizzy.

TMJTRY: Yes, this is possible. But you should first be checked by your medical doctor to rule out other possible problems. They may do a complete physical with blood work and x-rays. They will get a complete medical history to diagnose you properly. Sometimes crystals can form in the ear and give similar symptoms.

May be unrelated: See a specialist, preferably an doctor who will hopefully get you first to an ent. Then they can help or refer if necessary.

Imbalance: Imbalance, not true vertigo (spinning). if TMJ treated successfully, imbalance should improve. If true vertigo, see ENT or neurology doc.
