First of all let me say... I am not a doctor. I do work as a bodyworker so I am familiar with terminology. I am not making a diagnosis nor am I giving a prescription for treatment. I am just saying what I would do.
So ... I couldn't find a definition for this, but here is my take of what it means and some remedies I would use.
Temporalmyofascitis
Temporo - refers to the temporal area of the head, the side of the head around and just above the ear.
Myo - refers to muscle.
Fascia - is the connective tissue that connects and surrounds skin, muscle, bone and organs.
Itis - refers to inflammation.
It would be my guess that you are suffering pain/loss of balance from an inflammation of the fascia and muscles on your head around your ear.
The balance difficulty is probably the result of the stresses the inflamation is putting on the middle ear.
What would I do about it? I would use alternating hot and cold compresses in the area. Start by putting a hot (not scalding) cloth on the affected area. Cover it with a dry cloth to keep the heat in. Let this sit for about 5 minutes. Remove the hot cloth and apply an iced cloth for about 5 minutes. Remove and repeat with hot again, then cold, then hot, then cold again. Keep repeating for three or four times. Always end with cold! It will take about forty minutes to complete the treatment. What this does is, the heat brings in fresh blood with plenty of fresh oxygen and nutrients to the tissues in the area. The cold flushes out the area and pushes the fluids containing old metabolites away from the area and reduces any inflammation. Then the next round of heat brings in more fresh oxygen and nutrients, and so on. This pumps the area and speeds the recovery process. Remember to always end with cold to reduce any inflamation.
I would also increase my consumption of fish oils (omega fatty acids), vitamin C, vitamin E and Zinc. These all help with inflammation reduction.
Last but certainly not least, I would find a good CranioSacral/massage Therapist (www.upledger.com) to get some manual therapy done. This will aid in draining the fluids from the area and calm the inflamed fascia and muscles.
Your balance should recover as the tissues in the area recover. Just keep with the program. If this doesn't bring about substantial results in a three to five days you should probably revisit you Dr. I would expect complete recovery to take several weeks. Ihope this helps you out a bit. Good Luck and Speedy Healing!

I Googled this and came up with nothing but the
Temporal is the temple area of your head, In front of your ear.
Balance problems come from your ear.
Taking Ibuprofen (across the counter) will help eliminate swelling from the entire body. This might help the tightness in the ear canal and help with the dizziness. When there is swelling in the ear and hearing parts touch that aren't suppose to, cause vertigo, hence balance problems.
My husband had menieres and tinnitis for many years and eliminating caffine gradually eliminated a lot of ear problems. Plus losing some weight took pressure off his neck and ear area.
These aren't solutions but just suggestions. Good luck. No drowsy Dramamine will help with the dizziness and balance problems also.

why can't doctors talk in plain english? what the heck is that temporalmyofascilitis? Can't they just tell you if you have an ear infection that's causing your imbalance or you have a temporal lobe problem in your brain.... why make it sound so complicated!!!! Patients don't deserve the worry those hyfaluting medical terms bring.
