Detailed Answer:
Hi, thank you for posting your query.
I have gone through your query.
Looking at the information given by you,there are following possibilities:
1.)Ear wax .
You have mentioned that you have used Ear wax drops.After using them,wax inside ear starts to liquify and you may get feeling of crackling sound in ear.
2.)If you are suffering from any cold infection in nose,then the tube which joins ear and nose ,might get blocked ,due to which you might have crackling sound in ear.
3.)Ear infection.
In this case,you might generally be suffering from other symptoms like ear pain,mild discharge,etc.
4.) Sometimes listening to loud sounds in head phone,ringing in ear sensation (known as tinnitus) might occur.If possible, please avoid listening to loud sounds.
You may ask any further queries.
For confirm diagnosis,it would be advisable to consult an ENT specialist for examination of your ear.
Thank you.
