I can do this! I forget the name for it but I can rumble my ears, and then I can also 'pop' them if I go a little further. I'm so grateful for it if I ever go through a pressure change, I can't imagine how people cope without being able to do it.

Wait a minute. If I hold my jaw right, I do get a very short rumbling apart from my breath. Is that what you guys mean?

[–] jpeps 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Sounds about right. I would connect this action to my jaw, not anything with my eyes like some others have said. When you say short, do you mean the sound doesn't last very long? I can keep it going more or less as long as I want.

As long as I tense my jaw, I guess, but it's kinda awkward for me. I kinda have to pop my jaw down and hold it. I feel I'm making a silly face when I do it, so I'm not holding it long.

I guess there's multiple ways to hit it. I feel it in my jaw but it's the same process as wiggling my ears (though I don't have to do that at the same time if I don't want to).
