Could Pressure Sensation Near Ears Be Caused Due To TMJ Or Are The Jaws Unaligned?

Hi
I have a clicking in my right ear. Last week it sounded like a heartbeat or pulse. I don't have a cold. I went to family dr. My ears are clear. I have had tmj in the past. Should I go to the dentist or my ENT? Feels like pressure when I lie down. Could it be my jaw is not aligned?
