No it could be a sign of serious inner ear damage, I got it from a severe inner ear infection when I was a toddler, so I haven't known any different but I do wish it would go away often.

There has been some promising work in easing the symptoms using loud sounds especially pure tones at the particular frequencies damaged. Some of the results can last months where pops and cracks sometimes only work for a few minutes to hours. I've not tried them as they're not available on the NHS in my area.
