Clicking/bubbles in ear?
Lately when I yawn (or try to pop my ears like when you're on a plane) I hear a pop in my right ear only. It pops and then sounds like scraping/bubbles in there.
I can keep doing it over and over, it's been a few weeks now... what is that?
It's only in my right ear.
I also feel like my hearing is a tad muffled in that ear.

Could be wax buildup. Or have you been swimming recently? It could also be that you have water caught in your ear.

I have been in pools, but I make sure I don't go under. I also get swimmers ear very easily if I don't wear ear plugs (again only in my right ear).
What do I do for wax build up? I use q-tips every single day after the shower.

I would go to an ENT just to have it checked out.. they can also take any wax build up out of your ear..

Re: Clicking/bubbles in ear?
I would get it checked out, too. That cracking could be congestion (if not water, which still could get in even if you don't go under :( My sister had similar symptoms last year and it turned out that she had a raging ear infection! The dr. said it was the worst she had ever seen. Go to the dr, girl!! Good luck!

Quite honestly, my ears are like that most days. It's my allergies. If I don't take sudafed, I have that crackling of fluid in my ears.

This will sound gross--but unfortunately I know from personal experience. I used to have really bad wax buildup when I was little.
If you go to the Dr., they can check it out for you. If it really is excess wax, they will put a drop of peroxide in your ear and have you lay on your side so the wax loosens up. Then they'll take a syringe filled with warm water and flush it out. Sounds gross, but it works like a charm once the water has had a chance to dry out!
