Why do my ears slightly pop when I swallow or move my throat? - PaleoHacks.com most recent 30 from http://paleohacks.com 2013-06-20T09:22:50Z http://paleohacks.com/feeds/question/72671 http://www.creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.5/rdf http://paleohacks.com/questions/72671/why-do-my-ears-slightly-pop-when-i-swallow-or-move-my-throat Why do my ears slightly pop when I swallow or move my throat? Ben Nash 2011-10-26T00:58:20Z 2013-03-14T18:16:29Z <p>It's not bad, and it doesn't really hurt, it is just annoying. What causes this, and how do I get rid the popping, or is this normal? </p> <p>The popping isn't like a popping when you have an altitude change. It feels more like your ear is making a popping noise without it actually popping, if that makes sense. :P </p> <p>I don't know how else to say it. </p> <p>Help me out.

LiciaH 2011-10-26T02:33:48Z 2011-10-26T02:33:48Z <p>Do a Google search, or search on the Mayo clinic site. Happens to everyone, it's not Paleo related, I promise. </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/72671/why-do-my-ears-slightly-pop-when-i-swallow-or-move-my-throat/72693#72693 Answer by Eugenia for Why do my ears slightly pop when I swallow or move my throat? Eugenia 2011-10-26T02:38:17Z 2011-10-26T02:38:17Z <p>You have air trapped in your Eustachian tube (from the inside of the ear). I got mine rid off by... boarding a plane to Europe (I was going there for vacations), swimming at sea and letting the water getting in the ear (a few annoying days with the ear being blocked), but ultimately it went away (for the most part) when I switched to paleo.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/72671/why-do-my-ears-slightly-pop-when-i-swallow-or-move-my-throat/72706#72706 Answer by Dorado Galore for Why do my ears slightly pop when I swallow or move my throat?

Futureboy 2011-10-26T06:11:36Z 2011-10-26T06:11:36Z <p>You probably have narrow Eustachian tubes, like me. I also have a slight case of TMJ. My jaw pops, and so do my ears.</p> <p>It used to be much worse, when I would get constant ear-aches that ended up draining into my throat and infecting my tonsils, and years of smoking and allergies didn't help either. Now that I've been paleo though, I haven't had a sore throat once, nor have I had any seasonal allergies like I used to.</p> <p>Good luck with your narrow tubes.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/72671/why-do-my-ears-slightly-pop-when-i-swallow-or-move-my-throat/95206#95206 Answer by HippiPaleo for Why do my ears slightly pop when I swallow or move my throat?

Joshua 2012-02-04T13:35:37Z 2012-02-04T13:35:37Z <p>I started getting the ear popping really bad AFTER I went paleo. 99.9% of the time it would coincide with a family member getting a cold. </p> <p>The ear popping was the only symptom that I got. </p> <p>Considering that pre-paleo I might as well have been eating off a subway floor (I was sick all the time!) I counted my blessings. </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/72671/why-do-my-ears-slightly-pop-when-i-swallow-or-move-my-throat/95216#95216 Answer by primallykosher for Why do my ears slightly pop when I swallow or move my throat? primallykosher 2012-02-04T14:28:33Z 2012-02-04T14:28:33Z <p>The joint where the jaw rotates down is located right around where your ear is. So if you have any inflammation there its probably going to pop and you will hear that. </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/72671/why-do-my-ears-slightly-pop-when-i-swallow-or-move-my-throat/95251#95251 Answer by HA for Why do my ears slightly pop when I swallow or move my throat? HA 2012-02-04T16:35:56Z 2012-02-04T16:35:56Z <p>possible TMJ? A lot of times that comes with noisy jaws when your throat moves. It's not uncommon. </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/72671/why-do-my-ears-slightly-pop-when-i-swallow-or-move-my-throat/185308#185308 Answer by Jessica for Why do my ears slightly pop when I swallow or move my throat?
