In this article, we’ll take a closer look at why this happens, whether or not it’s harmful to your health and other interesting facts surrounding the cracking of ears. So sit back, put your feet up and get ready to crack into the world of ear-popping adventures!

The Science Behind Ear Cracking

The popping sensation in your ear is caused when air trapped inside the Eustachian tube is released suddenly. This can happen for several reasons including exposure to high altitude areas, yawning, swallowing or chewing gum (Yes! You read that right).

When you swallow or yawn (or even chew gum), tiny muscles located in the throat contract and expand causing air pressure changes in the middle ear space. These pressure changes allow fresh air from outside to replace stale air inside.

However,what most people might often overlook, as little children wearing braces would know; these jaw movements move other structures like bones: including those which connect with our eustachian tubes. And hence by moving them just enough we hear pops n cracks much like playing musical instruments only difference being they do with cords we listen due to bones acting as strings for ears!

One theory suggests that pulling on one’s earlobe could also stimulate these muscles leading to a similar popping sensation- Although no concrete scientific evidence supports (yet) such theories but heckn who knows there aren’t enough science experiments done upon exasperated humans trying something new around here anyway.

Symptoms Associated With Ear Cracks

For some individuals (mostly individuals born extraordinary), They may never feel any sensations while experiencing an occasional pop noise once every few blue-moons, And for others it may be an uncomfortable sensation leading to pain (worse than burning chapstick ever so slightly on lips).

When we have “dry ears”, often caused by extended air travel, diving with exposure to high altitudes; these situations pose uncertainties: oughta drink something before boarding that flight /upping elevations?? -yes drinking water helps keep us hydrated according to most educated guesses yet scientists unproven opinions too LOLs!

To alleviate chronic cracking of ears regular visits to doctors could get prescribed moisture agents like nasal sprays; If all else isn’t working out proper breathing exercises would assist individuals suffering from tinnitus(sometimes associated with ear drum issues )
