What Does A Creaking Sound In The Head Indicate?
What could be causing a creaking sound inside my head in the area around my jaw and ear? It happens occasionally when I m sitting still. I can sometimes stop it by pressing on the hollow where ear & jaw meet or other parts of my neck, or by repositioning my head, or clenching or relaxing muscles. It doesn t hurt at all, but it is annoying to hear .

Hello,
The symptoms are typical of a condition called TMJ (tempero mandibular joint) disorder. Consult an ENT specialist and plan for an MRI scan.
