Several things: Problems like these can only be correctly handled by your doctor in person. He/she needs to listen to you, perform an examination and possibly run labs or other tests. That's the only way he/she can find out what's going on and what to do about it.

Ear vs TMJ: In that area, Eustachian tube vs TMJ (jaw Joint). ET clicking heard mostly every time you swallow. TMJ clicking heard mostly with mouth opening/closing and chewing. If it bothers you, see ENT doc. If it doesn't bother you, no treatmnent indicated.
