Hey I get this too. Does it sound like a bad speaker connection? Or a crackling sound? I am wondering if you ever found out what this was. I am told it could be caused by muscle spasms in your ear. Let me know if you found any answers!

I just started getting this static sound in my left ear. It sounds like you said, a bad speaker connection. It doesnt really bother or annoy me, but just concerned. It doesnt do it when it is quiet or during normal conversation, but seems to do it when i hear the sound of the AC blowing air, when i am in the restroom and it is kind of echoey. I can usually plug my ear, or gently slap my ear and it goes away for a while.

Can this be a symptom before swimmers ear occurs? Saturday i was swimming in a friends pool and did swim to the bottom of the 8' section a couple times. I seemed to start noticing it on Monday. i dont have any headaches, dizziness, pain or anything else. Just a low static crackling sound. Any help would be great.

Thanks
Andy

Anybody have any idea what it might be or if it should be a cause for concern?
