If I lightly strike the front of my ear, pull on left ear, gently touch back of left
ear, or press on it in any way I hear that crumbling noise
for a few seconds then it goes away. It's worse at night when I'm laying down. My doctor said my left ear drum was not moving when he uses the air with the otoscope, I have been prescribed antibiotics , prednisone, flonase, decongents, all failed.
