Like others have said, it might be wax build up. I had wax build up and was too lazy to go the doctor for about a month or so. When the doctor rinsed my ear, it was so soothing.Going from 20% hearing in one ear to to 100% felt

The popping noise is either in the eustachian tube or due to temporomandibular joint disorder which is a pretty common.The 'vet' thing is a bit of silly slang that got formulated where I'm at since we call each other "Dog" a bit much, so by Vet I meant doctor. Silliness aside, the crunching noise my ear problem havin' friend has wasn't no common occurrence, shyt is snap crackin' and poppin' in his ear and to this point I'm sure it's either impacted wax that done evolved or somethin' worse.
I dunno if this crunching noise you speak of is common amongst folk when you yawn, but for the most part I get a pop similar to that of when the air pressure regulates itself in ya ear after a flight and you yawn and it pop. If I've been listening to music for an extended period of time and I yawn/stretch loud and long enough I might get a few pops as well, but no cracking.
If you don't want to do this just soak some cotton balls in peroxide and let it sit in your ear for a while. This worked for meIf you don't think it's serious then do this. Put some peroxide in your ear and let it sit for about five minutes, it will soften the wax(if it is wax).
Also get you one of these. It helps blow air into your ear to relieve pressure built up.

It's called a bulb ear syringe.
Blow it into your ear like so.

You can put the syringe into your ear and squeeze. Some people suck up warm water(or a combo with peroxide) and then squeeze it into their ear and let it sit then drain it out into a sink, I've never tried that method though.

I'ma go tomorrow... y'all got me spooked

Could be, but my friend's ear is fukked up so I'm sure as shyt he got an infection of some sort from holding off going to the doctor for so long, just letting the shyt ''go away'' on it's own, but props for the knowledge, man.go to the fukking doctor manNah, not yet..I been trying home remedies.
Last night I dropped vinegar and rubbing alcohol in there and I'm still deaf![]()


You better get yourself checked plieghboy

FINALLY I CAN LISTEN TO THE NEW ATCQ ALBUM!


you friends with animals nikka??Motherfukker you are going to GET DEAF fukking around with that snake oil and fukking WebMD.
A fukked up ear ain't something you can just shrug off or pour water down and hope it resets itself. If you value your hearing and your speech go let a doc use the ear magnifying shyts on ya ear and give you a prognosis before it gets worse.
Knew a breh who kept fukking around and not hitting the vet whenever his ear acted up and now he hears a crunching noise when he yawns at times and gets infections every half a year on some bullshyt.
Get it checked before you start leaking pus, breh.
