Dr. John Munshower answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Connection: The inner ear and the mouth have a connection called the eustacian tube (a tube that links the nasopharynx to the middle ear). When moving your jaw/mandible, the sound may be amplified in the ear with the perforation. Hope this helps.
