So is it true my ear ringing can be from my tmj?

Yes: It's is true that TMJ can cause ringing in the ears but there are many causes more likely. Hearing loss is the most common and would suggest you see an ENT doctor to evaluate further.

Causes of Tinnitus : Frequently ear ringing (tinnitus) can be associated or caused by a TMJ (clenching and/or grinding) problem. See your dentist and let him see if you have a TMJ problem, and let him evaluate your problem.

Yes, but...: While tinnitus (ringing in the ear) can be from an inflammation in your temporomandibular joint), there are also many other causes. You should consult both a dentist who treats tmj\tmd problems and also an ear nose and throat specialist to rule out other causes.
