10 Symptoms of TMJ
Symptom #2: Sounds From Jaw
Usually, the joints of our bodies work in complete silence and we can forget that they are even working at all. This is largely due to soft cartilage and lubricating fluids that help ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible. This is not always the case though, and people with TMJ disorder will often find that they can hear their jaw making sounds.
Quite often nobody else will hear the sounds, although sometimes it can be audible to all. It is caused when the mandibular disc is forced out of position causing a sound. The sounds come and go depending on the position of the disc. Unless accompanied by other symptoms such as pain, the clicking sounds in the joint are not normally treated by a physician.
