Why do the inside of my ears click?!

Question: Why do the inside of my ears click?

I can make the inside of my ears click. I don't know how I do it, but I can. One night I spent about 10 minutes doing it to try and figure out what it was and this was followed by a bad headache. I've tried it since and had the same thing happen. Any ideas? :)

When I was a teenager, I had this same problem...My mom told me it was earwax, and recommended me using hydrogen peroxide to clean my ears.

1) Pour a capful of hydrogen peroxide
2) Tilt your head to one side, and pour the solution into your ear
3) It'll bubble and fizz...Stay in that position, no matter how much it tickles
4) After about 5 minutes, hold some kleenex over your ear, and tilt your head in the other direction.....Earwax should come out...
5) Repeat steps for other ear.

This is a possible solution....I have never heard of ears clicking for any other reason....If someone else has another valid response, I will delete this comment.

Good luck!

Revision: Are you moving your jaw when you do it? This might be a normal click, or it might be TMJ...I suggest a visit to your dentist possibly....They check for these sorts of things as well...

Revision 2: Sounds like possible TMJ....My dad clicks when he eats....It's audible to everyone around him....It gets worse with age, unless it's taken care of.....A visit to your dentist will verify this....
