ear sensations

this is a very strange one- and i’ve done so much research and no one seems to of mentioned it so i’d love if anyone could relate to this.

I’ve been struggling with the jaw pain for a while now but during a flare up this week i noticed something strange. I ate my dinner and felt something stuck in my furthest back upper tooth- so i used my tongue to feel for it, but strangely as my tongue brushed over my back upper teeth it felt like something opened up in my ear? so i tried again, and again, and again, and its sort of become a habit- and it happens every time, that opening sensation. i’m certain it can’t be the eustachian tube, because nothing in my hearing changes etc. I’m not sure what it is, but from all the research i’ve done the only conclusion I can come to is that it is infact related to the TMJ. I of course get the usual ear pressure and fullness, but this is different. it’s started happening even when i brush my tongue against my lower back teeth now. has anyone else ever had this ?
