A member asked:
I experience a clicking/crackling sound in my ears when i swallow or yawn. is this normal? i am thinking of going skydiving - would this be safe for me with the change in pressure?

The crackling sound is air moving from your throat into the middle ear past a mild blockage of the eustachian tube. This blockage often accompanies URI's or allergies. I don't consider it odd or any reason to go about your life as you would otherwise.
