Ear popping

[Shaya]

I woke up this morning with my left ear popping but no pain to yawning and sometimes when swallowing really scared cant stop going to the bathroom & my heart is beating fast when i think about it more, i read it could be infection or Blocked Eustachian Tubes when i ignore it it goes away has anyone had this ?

You have answered your own question. ' When I ignore it, it goes away '. Ears can pop all the time. Just don't focus on it too much. That is what is making it worse.

My ears pop all the time while yawning, chewing, even talking. It's only a problem because it's quite annoying.

My ears pop constantly for no discernible reason and have for years! I can even make them do it by moving my jaw around. Sounds normal to me.

There are a lot of things that contribute to ear popping. Even changes in barometric pressure in our atmosphere can cause it.

It’s normal for ears to pop an and “crackle”. Most causes for it are harmless, such as changes in barometric pressure or presence of cerumen (earwax).
Earwax is normal and healthy to have, however blockages can occur. I have genetically narrow ear canals and am prone to cerumen blockages. An easy fix is getting an earwax syringe to “irrigate” the ears and reduce the amount of excess cerumen inside.
I had impacted cerumen earlier this year and I was able to clean it out with a syringe. Looked like a soggy cheese curd when it fell out, but it was an amazing feeling to hear again and have super clean ears.
