A well made occlusal appliance or night guard can be very effective to relieve your problems, but you need to find a highly competent practitioner.
what is the difference? I've only been referred to tmj specialist and so far none of them have properly helped me.

I thought Topomax was for migraines not tension headaches. I am surprised you got prescribed that. It could make your head feel weak and weird. It is fondly refered to as Dopomax for its propensity to make you a complete idiot. However most of us would rather be a fool without a headache, than intelligent and in pain. As well if you've only been taking it a week that side effect may take a couple of weeks to wear off, so there is hope it will still go away.
I get super sensitive hearing when my jaw joints are bothering me. I went to an ear, nose, and throat specialist and all they could say was ear plugs. If it is a vitamin B deficiency that is easy enough to figure out. Just a little blood test, and the cure is equally easy. A big honking B vitamin. I hope for your sake it is a deficiency. Spidey man hearing isn't the greatest.
