am i likely to go deaf from tmj?

I feel like I may have been losing my hearing slowly over the past week. very slowly. Im sure its tmj. I have a sore jaw when waking up, the joint is always tender... no clicking though.

my ears feel clogged and im so terrified of going deaf. i think it may be getting worse. has anyone ever gone deaf from tmj?

With TMJ you have pains in your jaw, and can cause you head and ears to hurt, dentist can make a mouth piece for you to wear at night, helps with clinching or grinding your teeth while you sleep. If its your ear's see a ENT, he will find out about your hearing.
