Or when water gets in your ear during the shower and when that water finally gets out. Same feeling

Wait
It shouldn't always pop ?
Lots of people can pop their ears on demand by flexing the muscles that open the tube. Those muscles are the same ones that flex when yawning and sometimes when chewing.
If your ears are always popping, I don't think that's necessarily bad, but maybe you're more susceptible to ear infections? If it's not painful and has always been like that it's probably fine, but mentioning it to your doctor next time you see them won't hurt.
This is my superpower
It can be bad. I also have this superpower, I can pop my ears (open my eustachian tubes) by flexing my throat muscles. The bad part comes when this happens on its own over and over and makes me dizzy. Thankfully that's only happened twice, but once was almost a whole day. I pop my ears much less now to try and avoid overdoing it.
I find my hearing gets out of whack unless I pop my ears a lot. I also get weird echoing and lose my hearing when I exercise hard..
I have a suspicion there is something wrong with my ears, but don't care to find out.
I mean pop when I do the thing you just said that makes them pop (there should be a german word for this) / yawn
Oh, I see! For many people it's just not something they notice, and it often doesn't happen unless there's a pressure difference. For other people, ears pop every time they yawn, or even eat. And lots of people can pop their ears manually in the same way people can flare their nostrils or wiggle their ears.
I can do the three
Do you know an Xmen recruiter ?
I thought everyone could pop the ears
