there is something wrong with my ear, if doesnt feel right, when i tap behind one its absolutley fine but when i tap behind the other its soo loud kind of when you tap on a mic, its not painful but feels really weird and cannot sleep on that side as its a bit uncomfortable, it keeps coming and going and i thought it was a perfarated ear drum, leave to go on holiday late tonight and worried about it popping on plane as when i yawn now it hurts

Not a big deal and you have asked a similar question before.

The tap behind your ear being louder than the other ear and anywhere else on the skull, denotes a conductive deafness which in your case means that you either have a perforated ear drum or a scarred ear drum. Either way you are fit to fly.

Is it muffled? Does the inside of the ear hurt when you pull down on the ear lobe? If so, you might have a bit of inflammation in the ear drum. Alternatively, you might just have some catarrh in the eustachian tube. If you swallow really hard, does it click? If so, then the tube isn`t blocked which is the main thing. If you`re worried you could always go to a walk-in centre and get someone to look at it with an otoscope so you can see what the situation is and start drugs if it`s otitis media.
