Crunching Sound Near Ear

When I yawn I hear a crunching sound in the area I have circled in the attachment.
I'm not asking for a diagnosis of course but I'm wondering if anyone else has had the same thing.
I don't remember hurting myself there.

    No :lol:. I was eating Frosties just before and it does actually sound similar to eating a crunchy cereal.

    I've had it for about a week and this was the first time I've eaten cereal for weeks.

    Probably your jaw making the noise. If it carries on a long time, or hurts a lot, you could see your doctor about it.

    Ohh I get that as well. Do you get it when you eat something Chewy?

    I have a friend that gets it too, her dentist told her what is was but I can't remember, I'll find out.

    Sometimes that happens to me if there's water left in my ears from washing them.

    I get that from time to time, its from the jaw overworking/not sitting in the joints right/grinding my teeth at night If it goes on for a long time or its painful then get your dentist to give it the once over.

    I can grind my jaw and make it crack like you do with your knuckles. If you move your jaw side to side can you make the cracking sound? That's all I have to do and like someone else said it can happen when I eat chewy food too.

    I can do this too.

    I can also crack my ankle.

    I get the crunching noise too. It doesn't bother me.

    Nearly all my joints crack (my index finger on my left hand just does it when i move it up and down :/)
    My doc said- if it doesn't hurt, it's fine, pockets of air being released or somethng.
