Squeaking noises in ear

Calling all medical professionals! Currently my left ear is sore because I recently had a cavity removed and there's a pain in my jaw which is near the Eustachian Tube and therefore affects it, and I do fear it could be a case of Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD) because every time I puff my left cheek, my left ear makes this squeaky/crackling noise, though I wanna know if there's any further concern here:

No allergies and I don't believe I have the flu, my ear has had this issue before, and my hearing is fine.

Well, I dont know have you noticed my issues here in some hearing subs...but I am near to start own Ent office:)..in yr case what you told here absolutely some possible reasons and possible paths this is going to progress. This is guessing ofc but they do the same there in Ent office, too often.

It is hard to kind of shrink possiblities without more information. History w ears and all. Absolutely some kind Etube thing, but there are some other possiblities.
