Can tmj cause clogged ears when eating?

Maybe: I would suggest having someone check your ears and if there is no problem see someone who can diagnose and treat TMJ problems.

No: The temperomandibular joint is completely separate from the ear canal, but the joint sits just in front of it. If you had any clicking/cracking sounds, pain, or limited movement of your jaw, or muscle and head pain on the sides you could have tmd.

Possibly, but....: Tmj\tmd symptoms can include ear pain, tinnitus, ear pressure, and a muffled feeling. However, your clogged ears may very likely be caused by many other conditions. I suggest you first consult with an ENT (ear, nose and throat specialist).

Yes: Clogged or stuffy ears is a common sign of TMJ disorders. See an oral surgeon for correlation.
