Why might it be that my ears pop whenever i swallow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ears Popping: The eustacian tubes open up as needed to keep the pressure normal behind the eardrums. The muscles uses to do this are also associated with swallowing. Sometimes when you swallow, these muscle will open the eustacian tubes, causing the popping.
