A member asked:

When i'm just sitting still or (sometimes) walking i hear a clicking noise in my head (at the top), it happens at least twice a day?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Clicking: lots of possibilities. Could be muscular, from the bones of the spine, jaw issues or less likely your eustachian tube opening and closing. See your primary care to check it out. May need to see an ENT

When I walk or run I hear a click behind my left ear. Its not a ringing sound and I normally only hear it walking. Noticed it a week ago. When I press on the bone behind my left ear and walk, I dont hear the sound. What could be the cause?
