How Can Numbness In The Cheeks And Tinnitus Be Treated?
I grind my teeth and clench my jaw a lot during the day. I’ve noticed my right masseter muscle has gotten significantly bigger. My cheeks have a numb and tender feeling. I have a constant ringing in my ears as well. What kind of doctor should I see for this?

hello,
Thanks for choosing HCM.
You need to consult an ENT specialist for the same.
The doctor would do a physical examination and check for causes of tinnitus(ringing in ear) like impacted wax, ear infections, stiffened or eroded bones in the inner ear.
Based on the cause, treatment can be intiated.
Also get your blood sugar levels checked.
Hope i have answered your queries. Do let me know if anything else is required.

Dr.Aman
