TMD?: One possibility is trauma to your jaw joint capsule which is immediately in front of your ear canal. Get to a dentist for an evaluation and possible ideas about how to manage the problem and let the symptoms subside.

Thanks for asking!: Could be tmj, could be an ear infection. You'd have to be examined.

Popping and TMJ: Popping with the tmj/tmj's usually signifies a displaced articular disk (forward.) not sure if you also have locking of the jaw- closed lock meaning limited opening; open lock- can't close.) need to see your dentist or TMJ specialist as your problem may become worse.
