The inner ear then effectively performs a Fourier transform. The cochlear gets progressively narrower, giving every point a different resonance frequency. The sensing hairs then notice which area is active.

Glad the video was helpful!

I'm literally going through the exact same thing, im having an adenoid biopsy next week, cause my doctor can't figure out why I keep getting infections etc

I had a couple bad ear infections as a kid. I remember doctors giving me a balloon with a short tube attached, I would practice plugging one nostril and blowing up the balloon with the other. Now almost thirty years later I'm popping my ears every day and haven't had an infection since.

You've had several sets of tubes installed in your tympanic membranes? Like multiple sets are installed right now, or they'd remove the old ones and install bigger ones in their place?

@@user-Aaron-Tubes are designed to fall out as the tympanic membrane heals itself. If the problem has not resolved, sometimes the patient has tubes placed again.

Wow so cool you could see this for yourself. I sure hope the Doctors bill was considerably less!

Wow that sounds horrible! How do you handle the noise sensitivity?

That's interesting cause I have that when I do rigorous exercise for a while, pretty much every time. It stabilizes itself after about an hour though. It also occurs if I get like a cold or something, which is rare for me to get sick now a days

I think you just fixed my right ear problem I have had since I don't even know. One time I was sick and then it never was the same. I tried breathing in while closing my nostrils and it changed something. So thanks for sharing!

You hereby get an honorary MD. 🧠👂🏼👂🏼

True (I'm sick rn)

@@randomsomeguy156 Try laying on your side with the blocked ear facing up and flex the ear popping muscle as hard as possible and keep flexing as long as possible, try it a few times if not working on the first try

Yeah, and once you're done being sick all the lack of popping builds up and starts happening automatically and unexpectedly. It sucks

Makes sense- I get sore ears and stuffy ears when I have a cold.

@@catpoke9557 I have full control over my popping so when it is over i can release the pressure when I want

I hear you! And my tinnitus! It drives me crazy sometimes it's so load. Most of the time it's an annoying cicada-ish sound but occasionally it booms. Very annoying.

You should take a look at TMJ dysfunction. Not saying it is the cause but 'come and go' tinnitus isn't common if due to hear loss.

I have tinnitus and it never goes away, I keep going to the doctor and he says my hearing is good, even better than the average of my age. I just accepted its some neurological condition, its the brain not the ear, I also have visual snow, so they might be correlated. Maybe my brain is just too sensitive for noise. I can literally see the noise from my own vision, so the tinnitus must be just normal floor noise, I don't have a low-pass filter it seems, lol. brains are strange.

I feel your pain, I’ve had tinnitus for 15 years, unfortunately I think mine is genetic, my father has it too, nothing seems to fix it and it’s the same as yours, I notice it really bad sometimes (a flare up) and sometimes I don’t notice it at all, but I can’t be anywhere quiet or silent, the tinnitus makes my ears feel like they’re going to bulge and explode if I sit in silence

Currently sitting in my quiet room with a headache and my tinnitus squealing. Gotta love it!

WHAT!?

Yes please!

Agreed!

The Epley just moves loose ear crystals out of the inner ear canal where they are causing an imbalance and vertigo. Many videos have been made.

Yes! I would love to learn more about vertigo and what I could do to help alleviate my symptoms!

@@jamiemcguire5585 have you seen a doctor to determine the cause? There are a number different things that can happen to give you vertigo.

First & last time I voluntarily went to a doctor, at the age of 4. I distinctly remember the pain & it seems like forever that it took to go away. I freak out every time I experience the slightest amount of pain in my ear.

Your brother is an outlier

I had problems with repeated ear infections as a kid. I got the the tubes at 7 and that was all over forever. If antibiotic overuse is a concern, this surgery really does make a difference.

Having had a ruptured eardrum due to a middle ear infection as a child, I cringed at the thought of not treating an infection. The pain was excruciating.

Same thing happened to me, though not at all asymptomatic, my infections were excruciating and had led to the crystallization of fluid within the inner ear. Parents and doctors back then (40 years ago) just gave you aspirin and said it will go away. Then my father realized I was starting to develop serious hearing problems. Had the tubes (grommets) put in at 6 years old and that largely fixed the problems however, my eardrums are now weak from both the tubes and being ruptured so often to the point where I need to be extremely careful equalizing pressure. Last rupture was early this year in the pool. So no, I really don't agree with the infections running their course. My daughter just got first ear infection and it was straight to the docs the get ear drops and oral antibiotics.

Can't everyone do it? I always make a band in my head from these sounds

Unless there's a severe blockage or a ruptured ear drum, everyone should be able to pop their ears at will by following the simple techniques mentioned in this video.

👍🏻

Everyone can do this... 😂

I can too

Delicious is a valid word here, but it still feels weird 😂

I had a very painful ear infection for several days at 24. Now 56. I lost most hearing in it permanently.

@@HistoryOnTheLoose did wierd hearing distortion happen? Like as if your ear was editing sound?

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

Right and a bad infection can cause an infection of the brain.

Totally agree. I too have had both and started having hearing loss due to infections at 5 years old. The puss can and will dry up and crystallize in the inner ear. It's really bad advice to not offer treatment when the result can leave a person disabled. Luckily for me, it was caught in time, however I now register different frequencies in each ear and am prone to very easily rupture ear drums due to having tubes and the ear drums being ruptured so often. It's a good party trick when you're swimming though, if I bust a drum, I can blow bubbles out of that ear.

You're lucky you don't have an acoustic neoroma, like me. They are not good . Hope things get better

😆 Good one!

Lol!

Baaaa dummmmm tsssss

Thanks, Dad

@@UppityRib Hmm, the prodigal daughter? I can't remember thou🤔🤨

Fancy seeing you hear… here.

i can do it too at will! I thought i was the only one!!! you just move the inside of like.. your ear?, right? people are so confused when i try explain

friend of mine tried to get me to explain. I couldnt tell him _exactly_ . For me, its stretching SOME muscle in my neck. its not just the one they spotted in the video. I dont even move my ears........even though im capable of doing that. (i found that instead of swiveling your ears to pick up different sounds like other animals like dogs, US HUMANS can move our ears to deafen noises about 2 - 3 decibles. Its helped me out alot when it was the perfect difference of ear hurting pain from stupid loud music to putting it as JUST BARELY tolerable loud.) Its two muscles on each side of my trachea. I feel them tense when i relieve the pressure. I dont need to yawn or move my ears or jaw. something involving those muscles allows me to open that canal and i can keep it open too for as long as i like if i keep it tensed up.

@@Vicieron Yes! i just can’t explain it but well, i just do it! lol

Did you clean the earplugs (or change them frequently if disposable)?

@@reality1701 cleaned after every shift, changed frequently (thought the company didn't like that)

Great it was helpful!

Great to hear! no pun intended

😂

Me too 😅

Oh my god! So do i!! I’ve always wondered why!! I can just move muscles in my head to pop my ears! I’ve been so curious about this and it’s nice to see someone else who can too. I was searching to see if there would be!

Glad you liked it!

That's actually good, better than "popping". Scuba diving instructor hear. There are different levels of "popping". If the pressure difference resolves itself naturally without popping (your situation), that is normal and healthy. There is nothing wrong, per se, with popping but it is a more violent method to equalize the pressure difference and I suppose that makes it a little more risky in terms of injury. We tell people to equalize the pressure difference (we call it "clearing") when the pressure difference is small. If the pressure difference is too large, the Eustachian Tube will get squeezed down to the point that no air can pass thru it and you won't be able to clear your ears. This will be painful and you won't want to go any deeper in the water until you can clear your ears. If you do very forcefully try to clear your ears when the pressure difference is very large, you are at more risk for injury (likely a ruptured eardrum). I've seen it happen. It's generally not life-threatening, but it is certainly not a pleasant experience.

You're lucky, for me the pressure in my left ear constantly goes wonky and I have to pop it multiple times a day, I can feel the pressure changes in that ear due to weather, exercise, closing a car window, and just randomly. 🫤

Glad you like our videos! Some contain references in the description, if you need to!

No! I can and have always wondered the same thing and why !!

I too can also pop thy ears without thy mandible

Nope , they're able to stitch themselves back together again just like our skin does when we get injured.

I have tinnitus! Mine was caused by the defective earplugs the Army (and other branches) issued between 2003 and 2015. Our hearing wasn't actually protected against gunfire, artillery, and explosions so many of us have tinnitus and/or hearing loss despite thinking at the time that we were protecting ourselves against loud noises. One big way most people can protect themselves against tinnitus is by wearing ear protection in loud environments and keeping their volume low as possible while wearing headphones. If you go to concerts, earplugs should be worn, especially if it's louder music (I go to a lot of punk gigs and never go without earplugs). Loop even makes ones that are specifically for concerts. If you hunt or otherwise use firearms, wear all the hearing and eye protection. I once had a customer drop off a rifle to be returned to the manufacturer because it literally blew up on him (the pressure went back instead of out, thankfully the stock of the rifle was hollow plastic and one of the decorative caps on it popped off to release the pressure). The only injuries he had was a couple minor scratches on his face and small burns on his hands. The scratches were from some of the plastic breaking and hitting his face. He showed me his safety glasses too - they were all scratched up from shrapnel and he was replacing them. What saved his sight and hearing was his strict use of safety equipment and that the stock was plastic. Otherwise, he would likely have been severely injured and likely deafened from how loud it was. There's no real "cure" for tinnitus, just things that make the symptoms less noticeable. Mainly hearing aids or a version of them that put white noise directly into your ear canals. Once the damage has been done, there's no way to reverse it. All that can be done is prevention. You only get one set of senses - protect them!

I can do that too, I don’t know why?

😬

That sounds very interesting! Thank you for sharing!

tiny tins ringing

Multiple things can. In my case, it was defective hearing protection that I recently learned was issued to millions of fellow Veterans between 2003 and 2015. In my mom's case, it's a condition called otosclerosis - the bones in her ears started to become almost arthritic and sort of fuse together over time.

Tinnitus is the brain listening to music

​@@snaggletooth4585No it isn't, it's a constant nonstop ringing noise inside your ears for those who suffer from Tinnitus
