Sounds like a rubber band is snapping in my ear?

Question

It's happening frequently, but also seems to be random - sometimes with the movement of my jaw (yawning) and sometimes when I sit up, stand, lie down.

What could cause this sensation?

Answer 1

It may be fluid in your ear causing bubbles to pop. Flush your ear with warm water a couple times a day by just tilting your head to let it in. Wait a minute or so then tilt the other way to drain it.

Answer 2

A mild infection, like left over from a cold or something.

Fluid in your ear can also be due to allergies, the lining of the inner ear becomes irritated.

Or glue ear.

Possibly also a waxy buildup.

Go to your doctor and get them to check your ears. Takes only a moment.
