Why crackling noise comes from ears while yawning?

Few: Could be pressure leveling out, fluid behind ear drums, or TMJ cracking. There could be other causes. Let your doctor check you.

Equilibrium : Yawning can help establish equilibrium pressures in ear. That helps move pressure in inner ear. Your eustsatian tubes are in the back of throat.
