Have Creaking Noise In Left Ear While Blinking. No Pain. Advice?
I m healthy, 37 yrs old. For the past several days, whenever I blink, my left ear has a creaking noise. If I hold my eye shut, it continues and when I open my eye, it stops. The sound is definitely IN my ear. Is it ear wax? I ve put in some ear wax drops for 3 days (once a day), but haven t noticed a change. It s not painful, just annoying, especially when there is no other ambient noise.

Hi,
Welcome toi HCM,
It seems that you might be having impacted wax in your ear.
If water mix with wax may give this type of sensation.
So put cotton plug in your ears to prevent water enter in the ears.
Now as you put some wax dissolving ear drops fpr3 days, clean your ear with cotton buds.
Ok and bye.
