Hi,\n\nHope You and family are fine.\n\nThere can 2 things.\n\n1. Tinnitus : Best described as an acoustic like feeling generated somewhere in the human body. Objective Tinnitus can be heard by the patient and the by the examiner.  It may be caused by spasms-like movement of the small bones in the middle ear, spontaneous movement of the soft palate and sometimes by sounds generated in the cochlea (where the hearing nerves are located.) Subjective tinnitus is best defined as an acoustic-like sensation that is heard only by the patient and not by anyone else. Its cause lies somewhere in the auditory system.\n\nBut it should be persistant, in Your case I its not persistent and only occur while You are walking then it may be SEISMIC EFFECT, That is walking itself produces a jarring motion that may create movement of the small bones or contractions muscles in the middle ear.\n\nIn order to test this hypothesis, consider doing the following: I) Walk slowly (with minimal jarring) and determine if the clicking sensation is present. 2) Then walk at your normal pace and determine if the clicking returns. 3) Move head up and down slowly and notice if the clicking is absent or present. 4). Then, vigorously, move your head up and down and determine if the clicking sound returns.\n\nAnother suggestion is to do the following: If you use hearing aids, take them off and then walk a brief distance and see if the clicking occurs. Put them on and follow the same procedure. If there is no clicking when the hearing aids are not worn, and it is present when they are, it is quite possible that the seismic effect is causing the problem. \n\nAt any rate, what you are describing does not appear to be a harbinger of something that should be of great concern. However, if it is a constant concern, by all means consult an ear specialist.\n\nA word of caution: Regardless of the cause of the perceived sound, even though it is benign, constant, negative attention to that sound can create emotional disturbance. If a medical examination finds no evidence of a physical or medical problem, then be assured the clicking sound offers no threat to the quality of life. \n\nHope that answers Your question.\n\nWarm regards,\n\nTanvir.

I know exactly what you're talking about, but I don't know the cause.  From talking to family members, I believe it's normal.\n\nJaw clicking, popping, and locking are symptoms of Temporo-Mandibular Joint Dysfunction, or TMJ.

I looked up shoulder problems and almost every diagnosis had "clicking" or "popping" as one of the  symptom.  If your shoulder pops or clicks it can mean an injury to the shoulder joint that should be looked at by a doctor.\n\nThe web site noted below has a lot of information and pictures of the shoulder, types of injuries, and symptoms.

Yes, it could be a sign of an attack.  My head started hurting like yours is for about 5 months.  Then my balance and coordination went to hell in a hand basket!  And the vertigo!!!  It sucks!  I'd go to the neuro and ask for some Prednisone.

Twitchy eye is quite funny, like being tickled. It happens when you're tired or stressed, and you think everyone else can see your eye having a little fit, but they can't. I don't know how old you are, but your blurred vision could be 'silent migraine'. This can start in children and as they grow up, the headaches follow. It could also be staring at a computer screen! Have your eyes checked. :-)

Is it hurting in the eye/sinus/forehead area? then it's probably sinus. If it if a one sided pain with tunnel vision, flashing lights, naseau, weakness, it's probably a migraine. If there is a burning muscular pain in the back of the head or the top, it may be vision. Do you have problems seeing things up close/far away/reading etc.? Ofcourse, I'm no MD by any means, and I'm sure that you need a proper medical diagnoses.

There are no nerves in your brain, so it is not your actual brain. I would talk to a doctor if this is seriously bothersome.  My first thought was mini stroke or aneurysm

Uh, oh.\n\nClicking sounds = very bad.\n\nThat means your hard disk actuator is fried.  You need to buy a new hard drive, and chances are very good you will not be able to save the data off the old one.\n\nI've heard that if you put a clicking hard drive in the freezer overnight it will work for 10-15 minutes - long enough to copy a few key files off, but I've never tried it myself.

Sometimes when I haven't been sleeping enough, when I've exercised too much, or when I'm sick, I get headaches where I feel a throbbing in my head. I don't have it all the time though. Mostly I get headaches like that when I haven't been sleeping well. Maybe that's your problem. Hope it gets better soon!

This could be caused from tension, and when your muscles relax, where the spinal column meets the back of the head it will crack and pop.  kinda like cracking the nuckles?

Sounds like vertigo to me. It's an awful sensation. Go to the doctor soon: it is probably caused by an inner ear problem.\nBe careful when climbing the stairs, meanwhile.\nBut see a doctor soon. It will not go away by itself.

Could be anything from an inner ear infection, to MS. Go see a doctor.

I think the click is intentional, it makes people feel more connected to thier computer. But I'd buy a quiet mouse myself, if I found one.

I get that a lot and find it really annoying too. I usually get that noise in my ears after listening to loud music etc. If your hearing is affected then maybe ask your GP for a hearing test to check it out.
