My ears never pop or ever have in planes or going up or down hills in a car when other people’s ears around me do.

I never feel ear pain or pressure during elevation or air/water pressure changes.

I’ve looked online for others like me but all I find are people who can’t pop their ears and want to.

How is everyone else’s ears popping and not mine? What does it feel like? Sometimes people say it feels good sometimes it hurts, I don’t get it and when I tell my friends I don’t experience ear popping I get looked at like somethings wrong with me.

Have my ears just evolved to release pressure without popping? (I know I’m stretching here but it would be fun)

      Doesn’t sound like the worst way to go to be honest. Great addition to my tombstone “Zed went out with a bang, the downtown pub and surrounding city will never be the same”

    Congrats?

    Consider taking up scuba diving. It normally requires active ear pressure normalization (Valsalva maneuver), but it sounds like you’re one of the rare people who will have a wonderful time never having to worry about that.

      No click, when I yawn or swallow I do get a brief less then a second of muffled hearing. It’s barely noticeable unless I’m actively trying to notice it.

    For me it’s part of yawning. Ears pop when I yawn.

    A lot of people have trouble with ears popping especially with airplanes. Hopefully you can take comfort in the stereotype of someone chewing gum to fix that problem.
