I've had earache in just my right ear a couple of times now. I have had 1 course of antibiotics. It came back today and always starts slowly deep in the ear and the whole ear ends up painful after about 3 hours.

Today, I sat down after making a drink and as I leaned forward to pick up the drink I felt, rather than heard, a small click in the same ear and realised that all the pain had completely gone. I couldn't believe it.

What clicked in my ear?

Don't look a gift horse in the ear! Couldn't possibly guess.
