How to Pop Your Ears
9. Ventilation Tubes
In the vast majority of cases, it is very easy to pop your ears. Even if you cannot make it go away quickly, then it should still not be too uncomfortable to put up with for a while. In a rare number of cases, however, ear barotrauma can be more serious and medical professionals will need to take more complex steps to deal with the problem.
Sometimes, ventilation tubes are inserted into the ears in order to relieve the pressure within. This is usually done using a local anesthetic to help ensure the patient remains comfortable throughout the procedure. The tubes are usually left in place and will eventually fall out within 2 years.
