    It Wasn't TMJ, It Was Just a Misaligned Jaw!

    I had 4 teeth pulled and wore braces in mid 2000's and now my jaw pops and cracks like crazy when opened, my entire jaw was pretty much changed as well as the position of all my teeth. Think this definitely has something to do with T? Normal hearing, the dentist thinks I might have TMJ and has...

    Feels Like I Can Only Hear Music Out of One Ear

    When I listen to music it sounds 70% in the left ear especially vocals, I've only noticed this happen in the past few months it use to never be an issue. What can cause this? i have had no exposure to loud noise.

    Finding It Hard to Cope :/

    turn a fan on, it may be permanent. it started that way for me too, jaw pain, jaw issues, clicking jaw.. etc.. most likely if its to do with your jaw in my experience most doctors/dentists wont/cant do much about it besides give you a mouth guard at night..sorry but you might have to live with it!

    If you use headphones and listen to music, is it in the center, panned to one side slightly or sound 'less' on one side? how normal is it? I remember 5 years ago when I'd always listen to headphones it would sound completely centred, no issues. Now it just sounds like the main vocal, and most...
