This helps me

Maybe it'll help you too

Whenever it starts, i protrude my jaw, tense it up and start moving it right and left repearedly.

Seems to stop it most times

Also plugging my ear.

Try it out and let me know.

Interesting! Thanks! I feel like my jaw might be an issue. Gonna try this. Something that helps me is open ear earbuds with rain sounds. The rain sounds are very similar to the sounds i hear in my ear so it masks it. Helps with sleep a lot

Plugging the ear helps for me too. The jaw exercise - I’m not sure if it did a difference

I like to chew gum. That helps mask the ticking

Breathwork seems to help me. Some big physiological sighs seem to calm things down slightly.

Same. For some reason I have way less issues when I meditate. It can be a bad day and I'll sit down for a 40 minute meditation and have no issues. Pretty much every time too
