TTTS can present as a variety of symptoms, including sensation of fullness in the ear, tinnitus, rhythmic sounds such as clicks and flutter of the tympanic membrane, ear fullness, a frequent "popping" sensation, hyperacusis, and mild vertigo. [3] These symptoms tend to last for a short period of time.
Sometimes TMD pain can radiate or be referred from its cause (i.e. the TMJ or the muscles of mastication) and be felt as headaches, earache or toothache. [12] Due to the proximity of the ear to the temporomandibular joint, TMJ pain can often be confused with ear pain. [23]
Eustachian tube dysfunction can be caused by a number of factors. Some common causes include the flu, allergies, a cold, and sinus infections. [6] In patients with chronic ear disease such as cholesteatoma and chronic discharge, studies showed that they have obstructive pathology at the ear side of the Eustachian tube.

[59] Pulsatile tinnitus can be a symptom of intracranial vascular abnormalities and should be evaluated for irregular noises of blood flow . [60]

Müller's maneuver is used to help determine the cause of sleep apnea. A positive test result means the site of upper airway obstruction is likely below the level of the soft palate, and the patient will probably not benefit from a uvulopalatopharyngoplasty alone.
