Have to pop ears a few times a day

[CottonCase]

Usually I have to pop my ears a few times each day.  Also, I don't feel I can hear as well as I possibly could.  I have tried not popping them, but if I don't pop them, they will start hurting, feeling as if there's pressure inside my ears.  In 2002 I took a flight and while we were descending my ears popped weirdly or something (I can't exactly remember), but after that point I've just had to randomly pop my ears throughout the day...at first it was annoying but it has become second nature.  I know I should have gone to a doctor about this by now but I just haven't.  Any ideas on what it might be?  Like air trapped in there or something? Thanks.

i have an idea cause ive been going through it with the mono i have, i think its the weather change, with the barometric pressure, try taking notice too when it happens, if the climate has changed at all.

also i found a high potency vitamin called LIPOFLAVANOID. it is special for hissing and popping in the ears, it says it right on the bottle. my mom has menieres disease they totally stopped her dizzy spells. they are 30.00 dollars a bottle for 100 pills. give them a try i think it will help.
