Hearing Crinkling Sound And Wax Build Up In Ear. Going For Skydiving. What Are The Risk For Permanent Damage?
Im 25 155 pounds 5 11, I think I have wax build up in my ear because I hear the crinkling sound in one ear as if I had water in there but only wen I move my ear and I can t feel water moving inside. I have had this symptom for a few weeks, I m going skydiving tomorrow and I was wondering if I m at risk for any permanent damage during the fall, I have no prior ear conditions/history

Hello
It is unlikely that your complaints are due to a wax build up and it looks like you are having a eustachian tube dysfunction , which is a normal tube between the ear and nose.
in such a situation i would advice you to not to go for skydiving as it may damage your ear.
Thanks
