Hey, I've been having this weird jaw pain right at the hinge, and I think it's a bit swollen, but only on the left side. I just had some dental work done on that side because of a cavity, and now it hurts to open my mouth wide. This all started last night, but for about five days before that, I'd wake up with a sore throat, a runny nose, and mucus. Strangely, during the day, I feel fine, but at night it all comes back until morning. There's also this occasional ringing noise in my left ear, like a beep, and it's around 814kHz or something. It's more obvious when I cover or muffle my ear. Any idea what's going on?

Can getting slapped or hit by a ball on one side of the face really mess up both ears? I'm kinda worried about how that could affect my ear drums. Can you help me understand the risks here?

A slap or being hit by a ball on one side of the face can potentially cause damage to both eardrums, as the shockwave from the impact can transmit through the skull and affect the inner ear structures, including the eardrums, on both sides, a condition known as bilateral tympanic membrane perforation or bilateral eardrum damage.
