I hear a rumbling within my ear whenever I yawn or gulp. It a moment ago wont budge. Ive tried medicine and ear drops.Help me?
Answers: Those sounds surrounded by your ear are caused by differences contained by the pressure in the middle-ear chamber (situated aft your tympanum) and external pressure.
This is a drawing so you see how it works:

(number 10 is the Eustachian tube, it opens onto the mouth roof)
Since our tympanic membrane act like a drum and vibrate when sound side hit it, the pressure in our middle ear requests to be the same as external (atmospheric) pressure.
And because atmospheric pressure vary, pressure differences normally arise, and we become more or smaller amount "deaf" because our tympanum gets stretched and can't convulse well.
Fortunately, we hold paired ducts called Eutachian tubes that connect the rear legs area of the roof of our mouth to our middle-ear chamber (one within each ear); they allow nouns to pass within and out of this chamber to even the pressures at both sides of the tympanum.
This passage of nouns occurs when you yawn or swallow: pressures become more similar, the membrane can convulse freely, and one usually hears better after that. Those "pop" sounds are the "nouns translation" of your tympanum relaxing and reacomodating.
I'm not a doctor, but I'm a biologist and I know how the ears of tetrapods work.
You should consult an otorhinolaryngologist (ear-nose-throat doctor), since your Eustachian tubes may be filled next to mucus, or inflammed, as a result of your upper airways problems. In my case, I be diagnosed with relatively come to a point Eustachian tubes when I was little, and I find I'm extremely sensitive to pressure change.
It's probably the cartilage in your mouth. It sounds like what is call TMD, tempormandibular joint disease. Your dentist is your best sourse of assist. Do you grind your teeth or clench them while awake or sleeping? Try a bite guard. Usually, if it isn't painful, it's lately like a knuckle cracking. If it is rough, see your dentist. Even a chiropractor can help by relieving the stiffness on those muscles around the jaw and side of the director and neck. Good luck.
