Does anyone who experiences or has experienced crackling or popping when they swallow or yawn or open their mouth has had it subside? I used to have popping randomly around the time I first got T, but not nearly as bad as it is now with my most recent spike. I have noticed when I wake up in the morning I don't experience it, but after about a half hour I start to again.
All of the time!!! Try doing some jaw exercises. Hold your bottom jaw in place by making a fist and resting it under your chin. Now open and close your mouth against your fist until you can feel the muscles in your jaw hurting slightly. Do 6 repetitions, 6 times daily. If it IS your jaw clicking then the clicks should lessen in a few months.
Oh yes, whenever I yawn I get a crackle in my right ear. Noticed it at the same time as my Tinnitus, as well as a stiffened jaw on my right side too.
All the time. Popping and crackling sounds are quite common though so I never perceived those two to be biggies, it's just "fun" how one person would consider it a dangerous noise and another would shrug, basically like t yeah.
