Recently I've been hearing popping/clicking noises from music and other audio. I at first thought it was an issue with my headphones, so I tried others, but it stayed the same. I thought the issue was my DAC so I used my phone, same issue. I thought it might be a coincidental issue with multiple devices so I used Bluetooth headphones, same thing. To be clear, it's not random popping, but extremely consistent clicking noises that become audible at points in certain songs or other audio.
Here is a track I can hear it very clearly on:
.
It's very clearly there at 2:30, but is also intermittently there on other parts of the song.
I'm starting to think this is some sort of issue with my ears. I tried wax removal and it didn't help. It could just be hearing loss but I'm in my twenties and can still hear everything perfectly fine besides these popping noises. Does anyone have experience with this sort of thing? Is it an issue I have with multiple devices or do I have some sort of ear infection?
