Does TMJD cause sound/music in ear?
I have right lower jaw pain  under the ear with swelling for 3 months.been to different doctors/specialists. Went to an ENT and had an Endo. No infection in sinus and ear. Extracted Upper wisdom tooth from OS as he said that's the reason. I had sore, scratching like pain inside the ear, under the ear, side of the neck, lower jaw, top right side of the head(above the ear). OS referred me to a tmj specialist. He took a pan xray and told me that I have tmjd and needed some 6 month splint treatment. The symptoms started one by one. Lower jaw and ear pain since day 1.Next month side of the neck pain started. Next month too side of the head hurts. Like continuous sore pain and hurts to touch under the ear, neck, head. Some spots on each hurts to touch. Since last week, I hear some soft sound, music and buzzing sound in my ear at night when lying down. It's there for sometime goes off and I hear it again after a while. I sometimes wake up from sleep&hear the sound. Is it because of tmjd?

TMJD has nothing to do with sound in the ear. You have to do MRI of TM joint to asses TMJD Contrast enhanced MRI of your Brain is required for buzzing sound in the Ear. Also you need to do Audiometry and tympanometry tests.
Next Steps
Do CBC, LIpid Profile, s. Calcium, Magnesium, electrolytes, thyroid test, LFT and RFT.
Health Tips
I know that I am writing too many tests. But to properly diagnose Tinnitus (buzzing sound in ears), these tests are required. Please note that inspire of doing all these tests, some times we can’t find the reason.
