Noises: it could be TMJ. The jaw and not your ear.

Possibly due to wax: The crackling noise could be due to wax moving in your ear as you talk or chew. You could safely remove the wax by getting a rubber bulb that parents use to suck mucus from children's noses. Fill the rubber bulb with warm water and gently squirt the water into your ears. This can take a couple of tries but it can safely clean out your ears. Don't use a q-tip those can cause ear trauma.

Sharp pain in right ear when I move my tongue, talk, swallow, or chew? What can cause this? Any eardrops I should get to relieve the pain? Thanks
Noise when i talk or swallow -like snapping or ticking from muscles in the vicinity of my ears. It hurts as well. Eustachian tubes are fine i was tested, no TMJ pain when chew/yawn.
I have pain in right ear.It increases while chewing or speaking. Sometimes it goes to upper side towards head sometimes to tonsil.
What could cause upper and lower jaw pain, pain in teeth, pain in upper cheekbone, and head pain on both sides of the face that feels better when I move my mouth, chew, talk, etc. note that I've been constipated and straining so maybe that caused it?
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.
