A member asked:

Can ear fullness sometimes be caused by or related to neck, shoulder and jaw tension?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Chiu answered

Yes: Some people with temporomandibular joint issue sense fullness in the ears. I have not heard of neck and shoulder problem causing ear symptoms. If you have jaw problem, talk to your dentist regarding a mouthguard to wear at night. (I assume that you have had your ears checked out already)
