Surface muscles tender?

Developing a theory on Meniere's, but I'm not yet ready to share... Meniere's is still idiopathic (no one knows what causes it)... and there may very well be multiple avenues to the condition/symptoms.

Just wondering if it is common to have sensitive muscles/cartilage around the affected ear... I mean on/in the ear as well as 1-4 inches around the ear.... and even perhaps into the jaw/TMJ and cheekbones? Have any of you noticed increased tenderness of these areas near (or after) the onset of Meniere's?
