A member asked:

Pain under and around jaw near ear on left side with movement. not really bad but annoying. pain in ear also when using headphones on that side. tmj?

Possibly: Dysfunctional jaw joints can account for your symptoms, but so can other things such as infection, trauma, fractures, etc. Please see your Dentist to see if dent-facial cause exists. If not , review by your Physician may be in order.
