I have this! But cannot find anything anywhere online to address this. Crackling happens when in touch any part of the right side of my face. I would love to know if anyone else experiences this, thanks!

Yes. It's TTTS. I've had it for almost 10 years now.

I have that too. What does TTTS stand for? And any thoughts on why this happens to people with tinnitus?

I don't think it is TTTS as it only crackles when I touch my face, no other time. It does not go off randomly ever. I am not affected by this, just curious about what it could be. Definitely related to the temporal nerve though so we're close!
