I've been dealing with this weird ear issue for a few months now. It started with this clicking sound in my left ear only when I talked, and then I began noticing this crackling sound in both ears while yawning. Initially, the ENT said it was an Eustachian tube blockage, but there's been no pain at all. The clicking seemed to go away for a while, but now its back and feels pretty recurrent. I'm really curious and slightly worried about what might be causing this, and wondering what you think could be going on. Is it really just a blockage, or could there be something else happening? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
The recurrent clicking in your left ear, accompanied by crackling in both ears during yawning, suggests Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD), as diagnosed by your ENT specialist; to manage symptoms, try: nasal decongestants, ear drops, and exercises like the Toynbee maneuver (swallowing while pinching the nose) and Valsalva maneuver (exhaling while pinching the nose and closing the mouth), and consult your ENT specialist for further guidance and potential tympanometry testing.
