How can i get rid of ear popping?

Accepted Answer

Hello, your ear symptoms are due to a eustachian tube dysfunction. The lining in your nose continues into the eustachian tube. Any condition affecting your nose will in turn cause ear symptoms. I would recommend afrin nasal spray as directed for 5 days. An otc decongestant can be used as directed thereafter for 7-10 days. If the symptoms persist, then see your ent.

This is likely normal. Your jaw likely moves during that process & that movement straightens the Eustachian tube that allows air to move from the throat into the middle ear. Yawning will replicate the process. By itself it is harmless.

The ear popping is likely do to transient opening of a eustachian tube that has swollen do to the cold.That will often trap mucous in the middle ear and reduce hearing while it is there.

Nevk pain in the middle/back of my head, light headaches and ear popping for over a week. ear popping most consistent symptom. any idea?

Accepted Answer

Likely arthritis in the neck (cervical spondylosis). Neck muscles that insert on the back of the skull become tense in an attempt to maintain good posture which leads to headaches. These headaches originate in the back of the head and migrate forward. Often the headaches worsen through the day. The popping noise are the facet joints of the cervical spine rubbing together and transmit to the ear.

Question 8

What to do if i have been having this ear popping problem?

Accepted Answer

Whenever you swallow the Eustachian tube opens and gases from the back of the nose enter the middle ear space to equalize normal barometric pressure.  The only other possibility is that you may have become aware of muscle contraction of the middle ear muscles.  This could be related to anxiety.  Rarely a muscle relaxant may help the latter problem.  If this really bothers you, see an ENT doctor.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

It has to do with changes in air pressure and the connection between the middle ear space and the back of your nose which is where the eustachian tube connects the 2. Chewing gum, yawning or trying to gently blow your nose while blocking the nasal passages can help. As it will help to equalize the pressure. The popping you feel is the pressure equalizing and is normal.
