What Causes Crackling In Ears?

My left ear is crackling. I ve tried yawning, gum chewing (which actually seems to make it worse), jaw stretching and I m about to try some drops in my ear to see if it s wax. The other ear doesn t crackle at all. I have not had a cold, I do not have allergies. Wondering if I need to get it checked.
