ive posted this question about my symptoms before and havent had much luck
in finding out more info,

basically i get popping noises from within my head that i seem to be
incredibly sensitive to, i only get them now and again and they sound like
pops that you get on a record,

they only come one at a time, and i have been treated for a mood disorder
and depressive symptoms and i also seem to have an unstable personality
because of all this

they seem to eminate from behind my nose area in my brain/head.

i have traditionally always been treated with anti depressants and sometimes
anti psychotics

i wonder if anyone has anymore info on this type of condition

many thanks

james

That whole area of the head is also a labyrinth of sinus cavities covered with
loose skin-like mucous tissue. Pops or clicks are very possible depending on
conditions and snoring is the most well-known sound. The ear tubes (eustachian)
will also click after being clogged. This is all a likely explanation for what
you hear.

Yeah, I agree, as I have a very bad nose allergy, a little like hay-fever
which my GP gives me a nasal spray for, that sounds a sort of like this,
and hubby even has to wear ear-plugs to escape the sound in his sleep!

It doesn't sound like anything I've ever had connected with epilepsy
though, but you could go and ask your GP if you're worried.
