Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (“Popping Sound in Ears”) | Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment

Eustachian Tube Dysfunction is a relatively common condition involving issues with the proper functioning of the eustachian tube, which is a ciliated tube located in the inner ear that is responsible for gaseous pressure regulation and drainage of middle ear fluid. A variety of conditions can lead to this condition including upper respiratory tract infections, allergies and recent vaccinations. In this lesson, we discuss the 3 types of Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, along with the signs and symptoms, triggers of symptoms (ex. Airflight or scuba diving), how it’s diagnosed and how it’s treated.

It is amazing that I found this, I thought I am going crazy. I noticed this after having Covid… I have constant popping and like a squishy ticking… like I can hear my blood flowing in my ear and yes my voice sounds very load, but that has gotten better.

[AlphaHarmonious]

Like many others here, my ears (mainly the left ear) started clicking and popping out of nowhere 3 years ago and have not stopped since. My ENT has no answers and stated he cannot help me.

[kwesidarkwa]

After an 8 hr flight i got home only to realise my ears were ringing.... It has been 5 months since, but I hear the occasional popping of the left ear.... but even more disturbing is that I hear my blood flowing and its really annoying as you described it as

[enzobaldi]

Watching completely your explanation it appears, it seems to me, seems, like I have this condition permanently.I have been to Otorhinolaryngologist but the wrenot able to determine my problem.They prescribe Hearing Aids that only magnifies the sound and I hear louder, but speech is confusing because I hear inside my head louder and I still have the resonance inside my head louder.Your description APPEARS to be a Eustachian dysfunction 'APPEARS' I do not know how to explain more accurate my problem but I am going crazy the way I perceive sound.

[Werevampiwolf]

Oh hey, another thing I have that I didn't know was an actual Thing With A Name. My doctor explained to me years ago that my eustachian tubes don't close like they should and that was that.

[lovlycu]

ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO I FLEW & MY LEFT EAR NEVER POPPED FOR MONTHS. NOW OF I SLEEP ON MY LEFT MY EAR 'CLOSES' OR SOMETIMES CLOSES DURING THE DAY. THE ONLY WAY IT BECOMES OPEN IS IF I PUT MY KNUCKLE IN MY EAR IT WILL POP.

[WiseOldDudee]

Can Eustachian tube issues caus Misophonia?I swear ever since I'v had random popping/crackling half a year ago I started to become over sensitive to mouth noises and such.Things that before I wouldn't have noticed now bother me alot.This video specifically has alooot of mouth noises.

[robertj]

amazing video i have had poping in my ears for years now also when ever I fly I get issues thank u for this amazing videos

[Leehuss]

I have had this clicking noise for along as I can remember, I am a 46yr male...what does this mean..

[SuperCamboRambo]

I’m so annoyed how ents don’t know anything about ear problems it’s pissing me tf off

[enzobaldi]

Can Eustachian Dysfunction affect the quality of the perceived sound in a person.The main issue are the symptoms and how affects hearing.

[HellBoundsOnMyTrail]

Im a 50yr old male that has had a blocked ear for the last 4 days. Ultimately came 2 days in from contracting Influenza A. Thinking i required a wax micro suction, doctor said its not wax, rather fluid behind the ear that has to drain naturally.
Its been quite debilitating as ive ben bed ridden for days. When i try to get up and move around i get dizzy and vertigo. Hopefully something gives soon.

[DaBassLadyCovers]

Thanks for sharing that, I will look into it, who administers the Botox injections? I get Botox injections in the back of my neck for muscle spasms I suffer with Cervical Dystonia. How do they reach the inner ear with the Botox? I really appreciate the info. 😊

[brandonpryor]

I drive trucks for a living and go through an under water tunnel about 4 times a day and 5-6 days a week. Do you think that could cause something like this? The tunnel is 40 feet deep from top to water surface and about 3k feet long

[MateoGuzman-cc]

For me I heard my voice and breathing and fullness in my ear, but after covering my nose and blowing, I constantly deal with "popping" sounds whenever I swallow, burp, yawn. It's been ten days and it happened randomly i'm not sure what I have or what to do. Can anyone give me some tips?

[blessing_ify]

Anytime i try to pop my ears, it doesn't pop but just collects the air and when i release the ear from popping it doesn't completely empty out. The clicking sound is a nuisance and sometimes if i want to sleep, I'll be distracted by the pressure in my ears. Though i can hear perfectly, it's still a nuisance

[Ekam-Sat]

Same happened to me. I had Covid for the third time and my right ear started making popping sounds without stopping for two days. I was able to stop it by doing pressure massages 💆 underneath the ear and where the jaw meets the air. I also did yawning and some jaw movement. I realise this may not work for everybody but it’s worth trying. Hope you all find a solution.

I’ve been experiencing really bad Autophony and popping and it’s causing a lot of anxiety
