A member asked:

Why might my ear pop when i run or jump?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Eustachian tube: This might be caused by eustachian tube dysfunction. The tube that goes from your ear to your nose can get congested --> pressure builds and then pop. This is similar to when you are on a plane.
