Crackling sound in ears
Hi. I’m a woman aged 22. I can hear crackling sound in both of my ears whenever I swallow my saliva. Recently I feel like I can hear the crackling sound too when I am talking. I have allergic rhinitis but I never really go to see a doctor due to this condition as it is not very serious and still under control. May I know what should I do and how serious is this condition?
