What Causes Hearing Of Popping Sounds In The Ear?
Question: I sometimes have popping noises in my right ear. Is there an explanation?
Brief Answer:
Eustachian tube opens with a pop
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Eustachian tube opens with a pop. This is the most common reason why one hears a 'pop' in the ear. I would not be very concerned if the popping is occasional and random. But if it is continuous or persists for days, I would your doctors to check for pathological conditions related to ear and throat.
Hope this answered your question.
Regards
