May be TMJ temporomandibular joint . if you place your fingers right in front of the ear by the bump and open your mouth wide does it replicate the incident? Do you grind your teeth then more likely .If so try Health Tap Prime as dentists that deal with TMJ issues as may (ENT) Ear Nose Throat doctors. May be other jaw (position)or pharynx, ear, neck (disc or facet) related issue F/u/w/ MD
