Suggest Treatment For Earache And Crackling Sounds In Ear
Hello, my name is Brittany. For about a week now, I have been experiencing crackling sounds in my left ear. It didn t hurt at all until earlier this morning, I m starting to get minor little ear aches now and then. The crackling also comes and goes and the noise and pain aren t always happening together. Also, I get these migraines that affect my vision and my head starts hurting really bad and that happened to me last night, but I don t know if my migraine had anything to do with my ear problem, I figured I would just mention it just in case.

Hi Brittany,
Crackling sound in your ear can be because of many reasons like wax, blocked eustachian tube(tube between ear and nose) etc, it doesn't look like serious problem, and migraine has nothing to do with it, please consult an Ent specialist to diagnose your ear problem, take care.
