• Hissing in ear when closing jaw, eating. Anyone have this?
    57 replies, posted
It's not as much of a medical thread as it is a discussion because I know I'm not the only person to have it. I'm not requesting replies to tell me to go to the doctor. I have no problem going to the doctor if it continues but I'm hoping it'll just go away. Basically, whenever I close my jaw, or eat (requiring my jaw to close of course) I hear a gentle hissing in my ear. I work for the Air Force fixing F-15E models and I wear my ear protection all the time (and I haven't been on the job THAT long.. I can tell cause the older guys don't even flinch at planes starting or flying by when my ears can't take it yet). But I'm more curious on if it's just fluid build up? I've been waking up with one side of my face kinda plugged for the first hour or so of my day. I'm just wondering if anyone knows any causes for this or any solutions, share your stories and opinions it's all good. Also, does anyone know why I yawn a LOT when I'm near a jet and I have my EPs on? I feel like it has to do with either the pressure from the EPs covering my ears or the vibrations from the plane (or both) because it's only when I am near the jet while it's running, or other loud equipment.
It's a heart murmur. You're a dead man.
There's a tiny cat living in your brain. Don't move your jaw anymore, it pisses it off.

[QUOTE=BackOnCrack;22696150]Fix'ed[/QUOTE] How clever, although being military I get free medical treatment so I'm more just avoiding being away from work by posting a problem that many people have probably experienced in their life. Although this was expected by a few people. The cat post made me laugh though.
It's Dobby whispering in your ear.
If you smash your teeth together there's a high pitched sound you can hear. I don't know if this is different.
Cut off your dick.

It's called rustjaw have you had your shots
That's the disadvantage of a steam-powered jaw. Avoid going for steampunk bodymods, cyberpunk is more practical

I have audible pops when I move my jaw.
Yeah I remember having something like that. Think it just goes away.
I'm far from an expert, but I've experienced similar symptoms sporadically over the past few years. Have you been evaluated by a dentist/orthodontist? If not, s/he may want to rule out any form of TMJ or structural abnormalities of the jaw. I still don't know what causes my symptoms, so that's the only suggestion I have (I know you didn't want suggestions to see a doctor, sorry!) — aside from simply waiting it out or shifting your jaws horizontally. Hope it stops soon, though, as I know it can become annoying. It just comes and goes for no apparent reason in my case. Concerning the plugged-up feeling you wake up with, does it occur on the same side of your head that you sleep on? That does sound fluid-related, if so. Although I guess that's irrelevant if you sleep on your back.
