If You Hear A Noise Coming From Your Ear, It's Not A Good Sign At All

Headache, feeling of extreme stress, irritability, but especially jaw noises that come off ... you feel all this as soon as you open your mouth? If so, be aware that you have TMJ trouble. Find out how this dysfunction can literally ruin your existence!

Have you ever heard cracklings every time you open your mouth, as if your jaw was breaking down? If so, please note that this may be due to the temporomandibular joint disorder, a malfunction that can alter the movement of the jaw creating muscle, joint or even arthritis! But then how to explain such a phenomenon, and for what reasons does it come from?

The disorders of the temporomandibular joint are generally divided into three categories:

Muscular disorders: These appear in the form of acute pain or spasm when the person opens his mouth. It also has difficulty chewing solid foods in particular.

The muscular disorders can appear in a completely random way, at the end of a false movement or the mastication of a food a little too hard.

Joint disorders: these appear as articular lesions or blockages. The person then has trouble opening his mouth. If she succeeds in doing so, she may be blocked, preventing her from closing her mouth or doing any other movement with her lower jaw!

Joint disorders can appear after a false movement as well as after a state of tension or increased stress.

Arthritis: this is an inflammatory disorder that can lead to serious degeneration of the joint.

In all three cases, regardless of the degree of severity that each of them represents for the person suffering from these ills, this dysfunction is very unpleasant to live on a daily basis.

It also presents a peculiarity of the most difficult to bear apart from the sensation of pain, namely: crackling. Indeed, as soon as you open your mouth, it is not uncommon for you to hear some kind of crackling in your ears. This sound (very disturbing) is due to the deformation, slight or accentuated, of the joint present in our jaw. And since this articulation is not far in our ears, it is normal that we can hear it sometimes exaggerated!

The right things to do

There are treatments that can relieve pain or discomfort caused by temporomandibular disorders, based inter alia on orthopedic or medical methods. Nevertheless, it is quite possible to be able to prevent these disorders or to relieve them if they have already appeared, in particular through small gestures seemingly innocuous, but yet very effective:
  • Favor soft foods to facilitate chewing
  • Avoid clenching your jaw
  • Avoid sudden movements such as yawning by opening your mouth wide
  • Do not hesitate to apply an ice pack on the side of the joint that hurts you the most
