Snapping sound in the ear with pressure in ears would be due to eustachian tube dysfunction,temperomandibular joint dysfunction.Eustachian tube dysfunction can cause fluid behind ears which can cause pressure like sensation in ears.Examination of ear with otoscope is needed to confirm this diagnosis
