Popping In Ear When Chewing?


Recommended Posts

For some reason today my left ear when i was eating lunch suddenly started popping loud! I never had that before. It just kept popping when i moved my jaw and lasted like 10 minutes. then was fine when i was at work. Then started a little bit after dinner for 5 minutes. It is really strange. Has anyone else got this? I hope this was just a random thing. I will also ask my doctor when i see her friday.

The popping you heard in your ear may actually be your jaw joint making a popping sound. It can mean nothing as this occasionally happens to perfectly healthy jaws. If it is chronic and persistent, it can be a symptom of TMJ. A good dentist or an oral surgeon can examine and xray your jaw to determine if you have TMJ if this becomes an ongoing problem.
