Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The crunchy sound in the ear region when you move your jaw can be because of the disc displacement in the jaw joint secondary to mal occlusion or any trauma to the joint region.
Consult a oral physician and get it diagnosed. You can take anti inflammatory drugs like piroxicam . You can also take muscle relaxants like chlorzoxazone. You can give hot fomentation over the joints. Do not eat hard things, do not open your mouth too wide. take soft diet.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
