Loss of hearing, jaw popping---could this be tmj?
6 doctors weighed in across 4 answers
Possible: See an oral surgeon and an ENT doctor for an evaluation. Can be TMJ or an ear issue.

Partly: The jaw popping is as issue with the joint. In some cases fluid can build up around the joint and affect hearing, as the structures are in close proximity. An MRI of your joint in conjunction with the person treating you will help rule this out.

YES and NO: Symptoms of tmj/tmd can include hearing problems, dizziness (equilibrium/balance difficulties, ) and other ear related problems. But tmd can also be wrongly diagnosed if the ear/ears are the source of the problem. I would first see an ENT doctor to rule out ear/inner ear infection, etc.

Yes: Jaw popping suggests a TMJ problem. TMJ patients can have subjective (not actual) hearing loss.
