Hi there,
Thank you for choosing healthcaremagic.
An ear popper is a device used to relieve the ear pressure. It normally should cause an ear popping sensation or a mild sensation of pressure when used.
It should not cause pain when used.
If there is an active infection or injury to the ear, it should not be used until the infection in cleared, or the injury healed.
Hope you find this helpful.
Best wishes.
Regards,
Dr. Sumeet.
