Crackling in ears and back of neck?

Question:

for awhile now I've had this crackling sensation going on in my ears as well as the back of my neck. when I move my head i can hear it, and when I swallow and open my mouth all the way my ears crackle too. Sometimes I can even feel it going on in the back of my head. Wasn't sure if it was sinus, ear infection or what, but before it happened my left ear was hurting bad and now they're both hurting every now and then, and I'll get some ringing. I kind of feel some pressure going on in there. Didn't know if it was swimmers ear cause i went swimming about a month ago, or perhaps from work because I work around airplanes and didn't have my earplugs in while one was starting up and felt like my eardrum was gonna pop. can anyone rule this out or give me some pointers?

Answers:
I would recommend going to the doctor for a formal analysis of your condition... i believe it probably an ear problem, perhaps wax build-up or an ear infection...your ears are very sensitive and important so you should definitely get checked out by a health professional.

I don't have a definite answer for you but I seem to have the same thing. I have that crackling in my neck and it'll go into the back of head and seems to go into my ear too. I'm going for physical therapy on my neck for it. You might want to get an X-ray of your neck just to see what's going on there. I'll be curious how yours turns out.

sounds like sinses. if you use sadafed over the counter at the pharmacy and ask for their brand it is less expensive. maybe this try it.
