Can you make sound come out of your ears?

I can make clicking and roaring noises in my ears, and the truly weird thing is that others can hear the clicking.

I always thought it was all in my head, until one day I was curled up on the sofa, clicking away in my head, with teen dd snuggled up next to me, and suddenly she asked "What's that clicking noise?"

Google suggests that I am tensing my tensor tympani muscle to make the roaring noise, but I cannot find any explanation for how I make the clicking noise. I think it must be something to do with the Eustacian Tube, as I cannot do it when I'm bunged up with a cold.

Any other ear weirdies out there, who can generate sound from their ears?

@MysweetAudrina

No, but if you rearrange the letters in ears I can certainly produce some fine acoustics from that body part.

@SarahAndQuack oh yes I can do the clicking thing then, apparently! I'll have to as ds if he can hear it. No roaring though 😥

Anyone else sat here desperately trying to 'click and roar'?

It's not really a roar. I think the people who don't know what we are talking about are imagining something quite different to what it is. It's a bit like the noise you hear underwater. A rumbly type of pressure or like a wind gusting down a narrow tunnel.

Not like a lion then?

@mistletoeandshite

I can make my ears click and roar! Other people can only hear the clicking though, not the roaring, as that would be weird.
Grin So hearing the clicking wouldn't be weird?
