ENT says I have TMJ but I have no symptoms?

I went to the ENT today for a problem with my right ear that has been on/off for almost a year. My ear will feel stuffed, have some pain & some tension. 

He looked in my ear, said everything looks fine and it might be TMJ & sent me on my way. I looked up the symptoms for TMJ & all I have is ear pain & the pain is never when I'm chewing, speaking, yawning or using my mouth in any way. The symptoms just come & go randomly throughout the day. It's driving me crazy & I just want it to be fixed.
