Hi Please help, i need help!!!?

I had crunching and grating sound whenever i open or close my teeth, but it stopped suddenly, and also my left ear has been clearing frequently on its own, when i when to my dentist about the sound coming from my teeth, she said it could be TMJ disorder and told me to do nothing, but the sounds stopped before going to her, and also she asked me to check and ENT if there are any earwax or ear infection, so since the sound stopped, i am having doubt whether i have TMJ or ear infection, can someone please reply!!!
