Thanks Fondue, good points. I am sure that by putting together just the correct sequence of tips in this thread, with maybe a video or two (scary to the non follower) that we could have a simple learning technique on our hands.

I am now working on the swallow, that gives me 100% ear crackles both sides, trying to break down the movement, it certainly seems the first part is the key. Also, I find that in my desire to learn, all muscle movements are way over forced. I'll bet that those of you who can do it use almost no effort to crackle?

Ryan. If I am not wrong, you mention what is sometimes treated as a medical condition in which people are driven mad by their own breathing sound, probably due to stuck open Eustachian tubes. I'm sure its not that in your case. Work on isolating, and give feedback here.
