Why does my ear hurt when i subconsciously grind my jaw?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cross innervation: This could be due to an anatomical quirk. Nerves that supply the jaw and eardrum are linked. Occasionally ear pain is felt in the teeth/jaw & vice versa. Simple anti inflammatory meds like ibuprofen may help some as would finding a way to stop the grinding.
