could be etube dysfunction, patulous e tube, or tensor tympani myoclonus....any other symptoms or sensations with this?

I also get weird poppy/clicky/gurgly sounds in my ears! Don't know why...
This tube thing is something I don't know much about yet! *Mental note to research it*

Ps. I get ear pain too!

A better description is like a crackling sound. I get random pains in my right ear and sometimes when I move my head I hear a whooshing sound in that ear. I have a lot of post nasal drip. Maybe that's what is causing it? I also had what I thought was an ear infection, but I read that if it is an ear infection there would be fever. It was painful but no fever and clogged for several days. It has been about three weeks since that happened.

Could it be something bad? I have been seeing an ent and I'm actually getting my tonsils out in a couple of weeks. I did mention about the ear pain but did not have the crackling at the time. He looked in my ear and blew some air in it but he seemed to think it was fine.

i would tell him, i dont think its bad, but could be a problem that needs to be treated.
