Update:


The cracking noise in my ear to due to muscular problems (leaden paralysis). It's the muscles rather than the auditory nerve (tinnitus). I've got atypical depression (fatigue, constant drowsiness, overeating, irritability) and I am responding to an MAOI called moclobemide, but only partially. I am trying to get parnate or nardil or selegiline next week.
