Recurring and intermittent very mild pin pricking sensation inside ear because of tmj ?

Question(s)

Actually I'm getting mostly very mild pricking pain like sensation inside outer ear canal ( mostly near ear drum) that lasts for a second since may, happens in both sides of ears but never together 😭😭😭and it happens atleast 10-12 times a day, most of the time very mild and once in three or 4 days the intensity comparatively increases but it's still mild and very much bearable. But it's extremely annoying, started around may after i went for ear cleaning. My 4 wisdom teeth are trying to erupt since 2020, I've had seasonal gum swallowing and mild pain there but ear pain never happened before. So i went to an oral surgeon and he diagnosed with tmj because my left jaw clicks when I open my mouth very wide but it clicks since my birth. I'm surprised that he didn't make a single comment about My wisdom teeth. My massestar muscle from inside my mouth and around wisdom teeth feels tight sometimes and i feel outer ear canal pressure that comes from cheeks but at the same time eustachian tube also gets congested when I travel by bus or train. I feel lumpy feeling around my upper throat as well 😭I went to another ent well he dismissed me , next went to the oral surgeon who diagnosed me with tmj after cbct scan , gave me myospaz forte BD for ten days and didn't work then I went to the ent who actually cleaned my ears ( since his behaviour is very good and considerate) he prescribed me escitalopram oxalate an clonazepam ?? I was extremely anxious and tensed before it started and eventually it got worse. I've been stuck in the constant flight or fight mode since may, constant anxious feeling in upper abdomen. I feel clueless,idk what to do.
