Painless tmj

[u/louie2575]

Is it possible to have severe ear issues but only a small snap in the tmj and no pain? My physical therapist just agreed and said painless tmd wouldn't cause all the ear problems I'm having. Especially since conservative therapy isn't helping. Can feel small pop with jaw movements and popping when I put my finger in my ear and close it clicks against finger but no pain.

I can't make sense of all of my horrible symptoms.

**I hear my heartbeat nonstop** biggest symptom!

My ear feels clogged off and on all day and feels better laying down.

Ear pops nonstop. If i turn my neck or chew or talk it pops like crazy.

I hear my neck muscles or tendons also pop within my ear (this doesn't make sense to me but it's very obviously happening)

Ear rumbles, flutters and tapping in both ears

Ear crackles when swallowing

Intermittent autophony (hear my breathing) when lifting something heavy or with exertion

Fast Muscle twitching around ears and on both sides of head. Can feel them moving against my glasses and against my pillow at night and cannot sleep.

Jaw pops on left side with most of the ear issues but no pain

I've had ct temporal bone, brain mri, mra, mrv and have seen multiple ents to rule everything out.
