Trackpad lost it's "Click"

I was just going through my RSS feed when my trackpad stopped depressing or making a click sound. It still responds to touch sensitivity, but it's very annoying with no physical clicking? according to Whatpulse, i have about 220k clicks since the february of this year, plus the clicks from when i got my macbook pro last september, so probably around 400k clicks total. is that a lot of wear on the trackpad which would cause this? i've tried restarting and such, but it seems as if this is definitely a hardware issue.

on a side note, when it first happened it wouldn't depress at all, and i could not execute the pinch gestures. there is now some depression, and a very faint click sound, but not nearly what it used to be.
