My ears never pop or ever have in planes or going up or down hills in a car when other people’s ears around me do.
I never feel ear pain or pressure during elevation or air/water pressure changes.
I’ve looked online for others like me but all I find are people who can’t pop their ears and want to.
How is everyone else’s ears popping and not mine? What does it feel like? Sometimes people say it feels good sometimes it hurts, I don’t get it and when I tell my friends I don’t experience ear popping I get looked at like somethings wrong with me.
Have my ears just evolved to release pressure without popping? (I know I’m stretching here but it would be fun)
You must have eustachian tubes that equalize pressure well and frequently.
Whatcha doin’ that’s given you such loose ear holes, hmmm?
For real, normal swallowing and jaw movement can be enough for some people’s tubes to open up and equalize pressure. Sounds like you’re on one end of the bell curve. Enjoy. You might be amazing at scuba diving.
Loose lips sink ships, loose ears live for years. Always wanted to try scuba diving. Used to sit at the bottom of a deep pool often growing up to see how long I could chill.
Too much aural.

I love it when you talk dirty.
Waxing romantic.
You’re gonna get an ear full tonight
On your 80th birthday it’ll happen all at once and your head will explode
Doesn’t sound like the worst way to go to be honest. Great addition to my tombstone “Zed went out with a bang, the downtown pub and surrounding city will never be the same”
Congrats?
Consider taking up scuba diving. It normally requires active ear pressure normalization (Valsalva maneuver), but it sounds like you’re one of the rare people who will have a wonderful time never having to worry about that.
It’s not really popping, it’s the sound of two slightly wet surfaces getting drawn apart. It’s only sounds a bit louder due to it taking place close to your eardrum.
It might indeed just be your eustachian tubes being wide, like suggested. You could’ve still had some blocking of the tubes due to to mucus/snot.
Also there blockage might not be painful, it can just come across as a slightly more duller perception of sound around you. You can stimulate the effect by keeping your nose and mouth closed and sightly blowing air, like you would blow your nose (don’t push to hard, though)
The 5 Best Decongestants for Eustachian Tube Dysfunction
I would go and see an ENT doctor. You can’t scuba dive below 5m without being able to pop your ears.
Does your head make an internal click sound when you swallow?
No click, when I yawn or swallow I do get a brief less then a second of muffled hearing. It’s barely noticeable unless I’m actively trying to notice it.
For me it’s part of yawning. Ears pop when I yawn.
A lot of people have trouble with ears popping especially with airplanes. Hopefully you can take comfort in the stereotype of someone chewing gum to fix that problem.
