What Could It Be If Hearing A Clicking Sound Inside The Head Above Left Ear?

hey, i have noticed a clicking sound inside my head above my left ear. it only happens sometimes and only when i walk (everytime i stride). i have a theory that its earwax in my ear filling in air bubbles but im really not sure. it doesnt hurt and it has happened before. any ideas?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, you have mentioned that you have clicking sound present, dont worry much , it is from your Temporomandibular joint , in some peoples they have clicking sound present in there TMJ joint, it s not to worry about as far as you are not having pain in that joint
For this you can take some precautions like
Avoid excess mouth opening
Eat soft diet,
If you have any pain in that area then you should take medication, if not nothing to worry.
Hope this will help you.
