Eustachian Tube Dysfunction: Understanding and Managing Ear Popping
Ear popping, also known as Eustachian tube dysfunction, occurs when the pressure in the middle ear and the surrounding environment is unequal. This can cause a feeling of fullness or congestion in the ear, along with a popping or clicking sound. Ear popping is a common experience, particularly during activities that involve rapid changes in altitude, such as flying or scuba diving.
