TMJ syndrome: Temporo-mandibular syndrome is the second most frequent cause of orofacial pain after dental pain. TMJ syndrome may cause ear pain, ringing in the ears, jaw locking, jaw clicking and pain behind the ear. Proper diagnosis is the key to successful treatment. See Orofacial Pain expert for a consultation and treatment options.

TMJ ?: TMJ ? Perhaps, perhaps not. May be more than one issue. Some of the symptoms you mention may be TMJ related. Burning of lips generally is not. See your own dentist for a proper clinical exam and diagnosis.
