I m healthy, 37 yrs old. For the past several days, whenever I blink, my left ear has a creaking noise. If I hold my eye shut, it continues and when I open my eye, it stops. The sound is definitely IN my ear. Is it ear wax? I ve put in some ear wax drops for 3 days (once a day), but haven t noticed a change. It s not painful, just annoying, especially when there is no other ambient noise.
