The Eustachian Tubes are in the back of your throat & swallow

causes a tug. They run from throat over to middle ear part of

ear where air pressure equalizes. The valsalva you do (air to

pop) moves the tympanic window to attempt to adjust. That

window is between canal & middle ear. If drainage or throat

swells from cold/allergies/etc, tube opening gets swollen &

causes fluid to sweat in the tubes & narrow. This can trigger

spasm-pops or no pop. Dr's are getting lazy explaining things.

Never believe 'trust me'! 17 yrs? If you snore, you may have

too much tissue being irritated & blocking openings. Gd-luck.
