Ear pain is the worst

For me, the worst part of all this isn't even the jaw pain, it's the ear pain.
The ear pressure, aching, fullness, and sometimes sharp pain are often more difficult to deal with than the jaw symptoms themselves. Some days it feels like my entire ear is irritated and nothing seems to calm it down.
I've had imaging and the only significant finding so far has been a right-sided disc displacement with reduction, but the ear symptoms can be absolutely miserable.
I'm curious if anyone else experiences this. Is ear pain your worst symptom too?
And if so, have you found anything that actually helps reduce it? Physical therapy, heat, ice, exercises, medication, time... anything else? I’ve tried all those things by the way and it is only very temporary
I'd really appreciate hearing what's worked for others because this symptom has been the hardest for me to cope with.
