How To Overcome The Crackling Noise That Appears In My Ear?
I've been having this problem for a few days now. I was reading when a crackling noise appears in my ear out of no where. I haven't been swimming, traveling, or been sick recently. The crackling noise in my ear is driving me insane. It comes and goes. I cleaned out the ear wax but that didn't do anything. I don't know what to do, my ear is making me go crazy!

Hello,
Crackling noise in ears can be caused by ear wax or because of tinnitus. Tinnitus is a inner ear problem and it requires evaluation and treatment by a ENT surgeon.
Since you have removed the wax tinnitus may be the reason for this.
The other cause can be temoporomandibular joint disorders.
Hence I advice you to undergo evaluation to find out the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
