Popping: It is either a clogged eustachian tube which runs from to ear to the nose or a swollen TMJ from bruxing so start with your ENT then the dentist if the ENT find s nothing wrong.

Popping in ears : The popping does not necessarily mean that fluid is draining out. You may simply have congestion from allergies, clogged ears or infection.
