Cracking my ears is making me feel crazy
Hello, I hope this is the right group to ask. I have been trying to look this up but I can only find others talking about ear popping.
What I am dealing with is whenever I push or pull around my Antihelix it cracks or feels like i’m crushing my cartilage. No pain, but I will sit and continuously do it because it doesn’t feel like I’m “cracking” it right.
I know it is most likely a common/normal thing others do too.
I just feel like I start to compulsively push and pull on them. My right ear is worse, but they have both make the crunching cracking noise for as long as I can remember. My ears don’t feel clogged, I don’t have TMJ, just curious If it’s normal- or why I feel the need to continuously do it.
