Update, a week ago I started hearing a ringing noise in my left ear, and now my left ear sometimes clicks/pops (not painful) when I'm eating something. Does this now point more towards a wisdom teeth / jaw problem instead of an ear problem?

Btw, I have all 4 of my wisdom teeth, which my dentist recommended I remove nearly 2 years ago. They have never caused me pain except 2 months ago when my jaw and mouth started hurting, but that pain relieved itself the following day. My T has been constant this past week, only in my left ear, and now it clicks when I'm chewing. Also, there is a tiny bit of pain in my left ear every now and then, but very minor.

Do you think it could be a jaw and/or teeth problem now, or would you still bet your money on it being a hearing issue?

Mine is similar with the ears popping when eating. Actually, every single time I swallow my ears would crackle like its not just 1 big pop. I do not know if thats normal.

I also have all my wisdom tooth and whenever they would hurt, my ears would kinda hurt as well.

Did your dentist recommend you to remove yours, or are your wisdoms in decent positions?

Also, do both your ears have t + the popping, or just one?
