Chiari: It is very difficult to tell what is causing this sensation and sound. Since others can hear it, I would suggest that you demonstrate it to your healthcare provider to see if further testing/evaluation is needed. Chiari malformations are within the brain and there are 3 types. Your healthcare provider can help you connect with a neurologist that could help if needed.

The back of my head has been making a popping/cracking noise. (Right above where neck and head meet) It will even do it when I'm not moving. First noticed it when I trying to sleep but now I hear it a lot. Also have ringing in ears. Thoughts?
