When talking on phone & watching tv (one person talking, quiet background) i hear a clicking-not all the time. what causes this

Not sure: Not sure, but the TM joint meniscus frequently displaces and moves in and out of position. The position of the meniscus is right in front of the external ear. When one talks the meniscus should be moving but not displacing. Displacement can make a clicking or popping sound.

What could cause someone to hear a knocking/clicking sound with each heartbeat in chest during quiet night in bed without a stethoscope? They stand upright, there's no noise anymore. Moreover, their chest X-ray and EKG done few months ago is normal?

Every time soft palate moves up and down (usually when talking) i hear clicking in my ears as though there's sticky fluid above my palate. Pls help?
When i talk , i hear an click/crackling sound in my ear, mostly on 1 side. Hard consonants like k & p make it worse. What to do? It's debilitating.
When my soft palate lowers after talking for example, I hear clicks/a click in both ears, but most prominently in my right. 5 weeks and counting.
For about 4 days now, when i go to bed, I hear a distinct clicking sound in my right ear. I have to turn my head or sleep on my right side to not hear it. At times it even wakes me up. The clock is like I'm sleeping next to a watch.
