Several times a day in the last week, I have experienced a slight crackling noise in my left ear and straight away felt dizzy as if I'm going to faint. Can anyone tell me what it could be.
View 4 RepliesI have been having a weird crackling noise in my left ear. It seems to come back when I wake up in the morning. Then it either fades away entirely later on or only gets triggered when I hear sounds (i.e. music, shutting doors, any noise).
I have been to the doctors and she looked into my ear, there was nothing wrong with it. I haven't been having any sinus problem. I have also cleaned my ear with a product called "Audiclean".
I have noticed when i am in bed at night i can hear a crackling noise when i breath. Anyone else?
View 8 RepliesThis has been happening for a year now. This ONLY happens when I am sleeping or laying down which is the same thing. When I go to sleep, one of my ears will make a crackling, popping sound. It will continue to make sounds until I get up. When I am awake and up, it doesn't happen. No sounds. Everything is okay. I already seen doctors and there was no explanation .... maybe etd. maybe acid reflux. This was not helpful. Has anyone ever experienced this before? Remember, this only happens when I am sleeping. It happens every night. When I go to sleep, my ear will make a crackling, popping sound until I get up.
View 2 RepliesI have dizziness everyday while walking, standing as well as feeling off balance, unsteady on my feet like I am gonna fall over. I have had my ears checked by an ENT doctor in 2014 and he said I had meniere's disease so he treated it as that but medicine didn't help so went to another ENT doctor in 2015 who said I don't have meniere's disease but have hearing loss in both ears and did a test on my vestibular function which he said was normal so he referred me to a neurologist and I went and had an MRI done which was normal as well. I have had blood work done in November last year and my white blood count was a little high but not concerning and everything else was normal....no diabetes. Also had a stress test done on heart and was normal. I am at my wits end with this cause I don't know what's going on. I plan to see an eye doctor soon. Oh and I was diagnosed with anxiety 4 months ago but this dizziness and off balance feeling has been going on for 2 years now. I am on blood pressure medicine too. don't know what else to do. Does anyone have these same symptoms ?
View 28 RepliesI find this helps with some relief. Block off the nostril on the side where the cracking is occurring with a cotton ball or tissue or small piece of tape. Breathe and blow your nose only through the open side for a few hours. In the beginning I only had to do this a couple of times a day. Do as often as necessary for your personal needs.
View 1 RepliesI was fine until I developed a lovely head cold/sore throat/chest congestion. The sore throat went away, the nose clogged up, the ears clogged up, the chest congestion started. The nose slowly unclogged, but the left ear won't pop. Doctor said nothing is wrong according to a hearing test. said pressure is the same in both ears. How can he tell if he doesn't look??? Just by the hearing test? I don't get it.
View 3 RepliesI got a bad cold several months ago and developed fluid in both of my ears. My ears felt clogged and they crackled. some of the clogged sensation went away, but the crackling remains. I went to the doctor and they found a little fluid, so I was given a steroid shot but didn't work. The crackling drivers me crazy. What can I do?
View 4 Repliesi have been under extreme stress and anxiety for the past 7 months. taking xanax 1 mg per day on and off for this period. i am taking Klonopin 0.5 mg regularly for the past 2 months at night as sleeping aid. since last week i was trying to lower the dosage to 0.25 mg and changed the time to 7 p.m. i have started tension headaches and now for the past week very sensitive to noises which is really bothering me. can this be related and also can i take paxil with klnopin on the same day.
View 3 RepliesI'm 23 and I've always had tinnitus in both ears but worse in my right. For about the last year I sometimes get this random light clicking noise in my right ear which sometimes happens once, twice or 10 times in very quick succession but then will just stop. It might not happen for a day or too and will suddenly come back again. There seems to be no pattern but happens more at work but might occur once or twice a day. The best way to describe it is a bit like a computer mouse clicking but a lot higher. I have no ear pain, blood or trouble hearing and any other symptoms. What is this? Can I cure it? Should I worry?
View 2 RepliesI think I have been experiencing what I believe are sinus issues for almost a year. I have been to two ENT's and they put the flexi camera up my nose, advised a slight deviated septum and gave nasal drops.
I also had a CT scan was they said was clear, slight inflammation on the right sinus, but other than than cleat. My nose is rarely blocked but I have terrible crackling, popping behind my nose and it even seems to be above my palate. I get phlegm/mucus at the back of my throat, often lumps of it, but not down my nose.
I have a constant pain up my right nostril.
The popping and crackling appears to be getting worse, almost a bone crunching sound. I often feel a painful pressure behind my nose or at the side of it, and then a horrible sensation of movement to relieve the pressure.
I get headaches above my right eye and often feel like I have been hit on the right side of my nose. The cracking noises come from both sides of my nose.
I am now also experiencing tooth and gum ache, and woke last night to popping sounds in my mouth, almost above my palate, but cannot be sure.
My ears frequently feel full too. As I previously mentioned my nose is never blocked, and its not full of mucus, so in that respect I do not feel bunged up!
I dont know where to go from here, ENT told me there was nothing more he could do on the results of my CT scan.
I recently had a cold, with some sinus issues, first time ever and I'm 36, not allergic to anything. The sinus has now cleared, 95%, still have some yellow mucus coming out when I blow my nose, but only on right side and not as much as yesterday or day before, but left with an ear that is half deaf and crackles when it hears a lot of noises at once (crackles or sounds like a waterfall, difficult to explain). Can hear fine with my left ear.There's also some ringing in the ear. Slight. Is this something that will clear up with time or do I need to see a doctor? I did finish my antibiotics this morning.I can also say that I'm a bit off balance, I won't say dizzy or vertigo, just half off balance when I walk. Not enough to fall over.Thanks in advance
View 2 RepliesI have been suffering from stress and anxiety over the last few months. I also have tinnitus which seems to be worse at the moment. At times the noise is so loud in my ears it makes me feel ill. . This is obviously worse at night time.
View 2 RepliesI'm 31 male. Yesterday I went to a Physical Therapist for TMJ treatment. The therapist was massaging my jaw and then moved to my neck to massage that. Without warning he forcefully cranked my neck to the left and it popped really loud three times.
I got upset with him and told him ever to do that again that he wasn't a chiropractor and he responded that he knew chiropractor movements. I've never been to a chiropractor by the way.
Ever since then whenever I walk I hear a loud crackling, like pop rocks sound in my lower neck, right above my shoulders. I don't have pain, though my neck is somewhat stiff now. The sound isn't present when moving the neck at all, left, right, up or down. Just when walking.
Did he do permanent damage to my neck? Should I seek treatment? What type of doctor should I see? Will the crackling go away or am I stuck with this forever and soon my neck will start to become very painful? I'm freaking out over this and need to know a solution.
I recently went to the doctor with a bad cough, slight fever and coughing up green mucus a lot. I was told my lungs sounded clear (4 days ago) and I have no chest pain, but the doctor gave me antibiotics just "in case" my symptoms worsened over Christmas. A new symptom I have noticed now is, when I exhale, sometimes I get this strange crackling or bubbling noise. Does anyone think it's a good idea to take my antibiotics before seeing my doctor again as I have to wait over the weekend for them to open again?
I am just worried that Penicillin may be harmful to take for something that might not be bacterial, even though I am getting this strange crackling sound and severe cough?
does anyone else hear crackling squeaky noise in your head when lying down? i feel like it's relieving some head pressure after stressing
View 16 RepliesI find it so difficult to describe my ear /nose/Jaw/ throat problem ( I really don’t know what the problem is)! But ill try. So Ive been suffering for 11 years, I am a 30 year old female. When I was 17 I had a jaw operation as I had an under bite ( they moved the bottom jaw back and screwed it into place). All went well, then when I was 19 I took a flight to Ireland with a bad cold, when I hopped off the plane I felt like my ears needed to pop so I held my nose and tried to make them pop. BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE! For a few days both ears were completely blocked up,could barely hear. Then it kind of cleared of sorts but left me with this weird popping, gurgle, crackle, feeling of fullness in both ears. Over the years I have seen a number of ENT’s, one gave me grommets, didn’t work. Others are just at a loss as to what it could be!
Ill try and describe my issue a bit more, so ITS CONSTANT, day in day out, im forever holding my nose and softly pushing the air out to no relief I just feel like almost a suction of crap going up and down against my eardrum, Its like it almost wants to pop and let a stream of fluid come flowing out both my ears, but it never happens. An ENT told me that my ears were in fact ‘popping’ but to me it doesn’t feel like it. When I do this the noise is intense, Ive had family members come close to me and they can actually hear the noise! They think its gross lol Sometimes it even makes a weird squeaking noise, its disturbing! Funnily enough when I get a cold, the symptoms improve to an extent (maybe its just because I'm too busy feeling sorry for myself)
Anyway if I breath in quickly and hard through my nose its like it pushes the air/fluid/ whatever it is up against my eardrum and causes intense pressure in the area, but I can breath through my nose gently with no real noise. Then if I swallow or open my jaw it pops releases the pressure BUT then the fluid/air just settles back to the normal position and when I swallow, yawn, move Jaw, or even just breath I have the weird crackle/pop/ear fullness……….It drives me insane! Also one ear will feel worse than the other at any given time, its almost like the air/fluid can move from left to right up to about 10 times a day! I know I sound crazy, my ex fianc tried to tell me its all in my head, I know im not crazy I just hope I don’t have to live with this forever!
I also notice that I clench my jaw a lot and apparently I grind my teeth.
I constantly have theories on what it is and they chop and change. Maybe I have enlarged adenoids, maybe its ETD, maybe its TMJD, maybe I have s**t stuck near my soft palate or maybe its something else……..I also always feel like I have a lot of post nasal drip and my throat gets sore easily and almost feels like its swollen at times. I have tried every nose spray, steroid etc you name it Ive tried it.
Lately I wonder if I should try some natural therapy like acupuncture or maybe a chiropractor or physio….Im hesitant to go back to another ENT as I always feel so disheartened when they tell me there is nothing they can do.
I stopped smoking weed 8 days ago, i'm 53 and i've smoked it from being a teenager, very light smoker, 1 or 2 small single skin spliffs a night, but not every night, i'm experiencing anxiety mainly due to sound, sounds seem magnified! my partner may put her knife and fork down after eating and i nearly jump out of my skin, its not good.... i play in a band and iv always seen it as part of being a musician, playing loud music is ok its these random small noises that are grating on my nerves.. anybody else experienced this?

View 4 RepliesI had a bunionectomy 2.5 years ago, the surgery went well and recovery was fast, now, for the last 6 months or so, my big toe makes an audible clicking noise when I walk, so much so that people have commented on it, could the bunion surgery have caused this? also, probably unrelated, I have recently been diagnosed with a plantar fibroma on the same foot
View 1 RepliesI've been dizzy and "drunk" feeling since the end if march every day constantly. I don't know what it could be.
