This typically occurs due to variations in the air pressure around it. If you climb to a high altitude, such as flying on an airplane or driving up a high range of mountains, your ears can pop as they adapt to your surrounding air pressure.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Factors\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Factors<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">For several factors to pop your ears, they may often have stuffy ears, just as humans sometimes have stuffy noses.

Your middle ear can fill with clear liquid if they remain blocked to try to balance the pressure. It can&#8217;t drain if the Eustachian tubes are closed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_okay_for_your_ears_to_pop\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Is it okay for your ears to pop?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">It may be painful to have clogged ears and can muffle your hearing. Popping your ears can help when this happens.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">It is pretty much safe to pop your ears. It normally needs nothing more than moving the muscles of the jaw. Be careful independent of the method you try. Avoid trying to pop your ears if your symptoms escalate and see the doctor.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Avoid extended use while you are attempting to unclog your ears with over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription drugs.

Using your thumbs, pinch your nostrils shut. Try to leave the cheeks neutral, rather than puffed up or drawn in. Blow air from your nostrils. In the back of the nose, this induces friction, which may help open the Eustachian tunnel.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Yawning\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Yawning<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Yawning tends to open the Eustachian tube as well. Try a fake yawn if you can yawn on time. When breathing in and out, open your mouth as wide as it goes. This could have the same effect. Every few minutes, try &#8220;yawning&#8221; before your ears pop.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Swallowing\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Swallowing<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Your muscles spontaneously work to open the Eustachian tube as you swallow. The middle ear is attached to the back of your nose by this Eustachian tube.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">This action can be triggered by chewing gum or sucking on hard candy.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Applying_a_wet_and_warm_towel\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Applying a wet and warm towel<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">It will help reduce congestion and open the Eustachian tube by placing a heated washcloth or wrapped heating pad against the ear. Often this approach can sound calming.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"> If you have clogged ears due to a cough, flu, or allergies, it could be the most effective.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Toynbee_maneuver\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Toynbee maneuver<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">For this procedure, when chewing, pinch your nostrils shut with your fingertips.

Be sure to follow the instructions closely if you use an OTC nasal decongestant. Since using a decongestant, you might want to do the Valsalva or Toynbee Maneuver.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Decongestants come in pill form or nasal sprays.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ventilation_tubes\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Ventilation tubes<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">In difficult situations, this common surgical procedure may be <a href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/15-amazing-benefits-of-walking-safety-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">suggested by your doctor<\/a> to minimize discomfort and alleviate strain. Your doctor will prescribe local anesthesia for the operation. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Then, in one or both ears, they can insert thin breathing tubes, also known as pressure-equalizing (PE) tubes, to pump out excess fluid.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">It takes about ten minutes for the operation. It is usually handled in the office of a specialist, but it can be done in a hospital. Tubes for ventilation are supposed to pop out on their own. Usually, this occurs after one to two years.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nasal_corticosteroids\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Nasal corticosteroids<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The way to pop your ears.

There are a few ways the doctor may extract the wax, which can be performed at their clinic. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Wax may be extracted by irrigation or using a special tool called a cerumen spoon. The doctor uses to &#8220;push&#8221; the wax out using special ear drops that melt the wax.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Congestion<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Your auditory tube will gum up so much mucus and make it hard to control the middle ear space pressure.

This is caused by infection occasionally.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The enlargement of surrounding organs, such as adenoids or sinus tissue, is another cause for storing the ear&#8217;s fluid. The removal of this tissue could also be required if the surrounding tissue covers the auditory tube.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The surgical placement of silicone ear tubes, which helps the ear drain and equalize air, typically handles fluid in the ear. When you have ear tubes, you should know you won&#8217;t be able to pop your ears. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">This is because vibration can be equalized naturally through the tubing into the eardrum. Serous otitis media, glue ear, and otitis media effusion are other names for fluid in the ear.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Other simple ways to pop your ears include:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u00a0Hold your nose with your fingers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Close your lips<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Try to blow your nose.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The strain in the back of your nose will build, and the Eustachian tube will be pushed open. The person experiences a cracking in the ear several times as the Eustachian tube opens.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">One can equalize the pressure between the middle ear and the surroundings by opening the Eustachian vent. Every negative pressure is released, and the middle ear space can remove the fluid.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Do_When_Your_Ears_Wont_Pop\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">What to Do When Your Ears Won&#8217;t Pop?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Typically, it only takes a couple of attempts to balance the ears.

Infection-related ETDs should resolve entirely within a week or two.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Treating the root factors will help deter cases from occurring again. Managing and managing allergies will avoid ETD in the first instance.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Since ETD is more prevalent in kids, you may want to speak to the doctor if your kid has regular ear infections or ear issues.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\r\n<\/span><\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p><strong>READ THIS NEXT<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/blood-pressure-drop-during-exercise\/\">Why Blood Pressure Drop During Exercise<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/how-to-make-yourself-vomit-without-it-hurting\/\">How to Make Yourself Vomit Without it Hurting<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/how-to-grow-beard-on-cheeks-faster-naturally\/\">How to Grow Beard on Cheeks Faster Naturally<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/low-acid-in-stomach-symptoms-causes\/\">Low Acid in Stomach Symptoms, Causes, Treatment<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/pain-in-left-arm-and-chest-causes-symptoms\/\">Pain in left arm and chest<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/is-it-better-to-sleep-without-a-pillow\/\">Is it Better to Sleep Without a Pillow<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/shortness-of-breath-after-quitting-smoking\/\">Shortness of Breath After Quitting Smoking<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/how-to-lose-10-pounds-in-a-month\/\">How to Lose 10 Pounds in A Month<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/reasons-for-lung-transplant-requirements-procedure\/\">Reasons for Lung Transplant<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Best way to pop your ears Your ears can clog and unclog themselves naturally often.
