Ears popping a lot

Dunno but I have always sucked in my ears as if it was instinct, which I dunno if it is.. sniffing my nose with my mouth closed hardly ***** them in. Lately they've been popping a lot and it's annoying. I have had to go to the ENT for previous ear problems in the past. I had weird pus stuff coming out and it was extremely painful, probably an infection. Had surgery also that put tubes in them, as far as I know, only one has come out. It has been around 7-8 years since.

Is there any explanation to this or is this normal?

I would recommend going back to the ear, nose and throat doctor to see about the ear tube that never came out.  This leaves and open door for bacteria into the middle part of the ear.  Not all ear tubes come out on their own and have to be surgically removed. It took about 20 minutes for my surgery to get them out.

It certainly does sound like an ear infection and as long as you keep the tube in, they will keep getting infected.
