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.

View allI've been dealing with pain when I turn my neck and this weird feeling like something's stuck in my throat. An X-ray showed an elongated styloid process on my right side. I've seen multiple ENT and ortho doctors, tried antibiotics, pain meds, anti-inflammatory gargles, and tablets but nothing's helped. What's the best way to treat this - surgery, physical therapy, or something else?
It's likely you're experiencing Eagle syndrome, a condition caused by an elongated styloid process, which can cause pain in the throat, neck, and face, along with a feeling of something being stuck in the throat. The best treatment depends on the severity of your symptoms and whether conservative measures have been tried

My left ear has been feeling heavy and blocked constantly, with sounds echoing inside. I can't hear people properly when they speak slowly.

I'm hearing a lot of talk online about using urine to cure ear infections. Apparently, some people think it's the best or even the only way to fix an earache. But I'm worried that it might cause more issues, like infection, since urine is human waste and all. Can you clarify if this is safe or just a myth?
no never use it again it could cause serious infections
