Clicks can be many things. If in the inner ear or middle ear not much can be done.

They can be from your jaw joint, or blocked eustachian tubes. You can hear clicking from any nearby tendon movements. Sometimes my right wrist clicks in the night and I can hear that in my right ear.

Can you pop your ears and do they both click open? If you have throat swelling from infections or allergies, then they will make clicking sounds when they open up.

Don't use Q-tips in the ears, as they can push wax back into the ear canal which may vibrate against the ear drum.

When the weather changes quickly and the barometric pressure changes quickly too, then you may notice that these sounds increase in frequency. That would point to a pressure issue as your trigger.
