Rule out cause: There are several potential causes to ringing of the ears... Tmj dysfunction is one possibility. Others include reaction to medications, inner ear problems, and vascular disorders.

There also is a pain clinic in allentown...

Find a Dentist!: Tmj pain can be debilitating. Please find a qualified dentist, and he/she should be able to test if pain is from the tmj... And that dentist should be able to offer treatment..
