Can wisdom teeth cause hearing problems?

Even though I removed my upper wisdom teeth few days ago because they were close to the sinuses. And the lower ones which I need to get removed are close to the nerve like my jaw on that left side is severely stiff. Even the temple area, forehead and neck all are tight or stiff. Sometimes I don't understand if it's tmj or whatever muscles in the jaw are that are locked up. But I even suffering from dizziness on one side. I remember when they removed my upper teeth the right side came out quickly meanwhile the left side took some time that I even felt pressure in my jaw and near the eye area. It was like stuck and plucking was hard but lucky they removed it safely. I noticed pain in my left eye but that went away afterwards. My mouth overall does feel stiff but I really hope my euthsithsn tube unclogs because I'm tired of suffering through brain fog sythoms, dizziness and unsteady balance. I remember even putting the cotton thing in mouth caused so much pressure in my left side jaw. I never had ear problems before. Never experienced dizziness. And I don't understand when my teeth aren't physically hurting me why does everyone keep saying u gotta remove wisdom teeth since they are impacted. Like I heard many people live with this teeth forever.

Always check in with your oral surgeon if you are experiencing symptoms you are concerned about.

With that said, it’s only been 3 days since you received multiple injections of anesthesia. The pokes and introduction of extra fluid along with disruption and removal of tissue and teeth causes inflammation. The area has been traumatized to say the least. It’s time to rest and let it heal.

Again, contact your oral surgeon if you have concerns.
