I think it's due to a change in atmospheric pressure; if you go up or down the density of the air around varies. As you fall closer to the Earth's surface the density of the air increases (probably due to gravity). I think that the pressure of the air inside your ears should be equal to the pressure of the air surrounding you. Your ears should naturally adjust the pressure inside your head to account for any vertical movement, however too much vertical movement will be too much for your ears to change pressure levels without quickly evacuating air (which gives the popping sensation). You ears would most likely pop when you are in a helicopter or plane, also Scuba divers employ measures to deliberately pop their ears as they descend (as water is a lot more pressured than air). You should notice that just before your ear pops, the quality of sound input will be poor, this is due to the bubble of air. Air can be evacuated through your nose. This can explain why you get ear aches when you have a cold. Ear popping can often relieve pain in your ear in such incidents. You can deliberately pop your ears by taking in a deep breath and closing your mouth, then pinch your nose with your finger and thumb and try to blow out all the air in your lungs through your nose (air shouldn't escape if you are holding your nose properly), the resulting density of air in your head will force your ear to pop. This is the trick divers use.
your ears pop your ears pop
Ears "pop" when there is a change in pressure. It is the bodys way to prevent discomfort from pressure changes.
U hear a pop in ur ears.....

To make your ears pop, you can try swallowing, yawning, or chewing gum. These actions help equalize the pressure in your ears, which can relieve the feeling of them being blocked.
no

Yes.
the pressure of the air
When animals are on a plane, the change in air pressure can cause their ears to pop. This happens because the pressure inside their ears needs to equalize with the pressure outside, which can be uncomfortable for them.
During a tornado, changes in air pressure can cause your ears to "pop." This happens as your Eustachian tubes try to equalize the pressure inside your ears with the changing external pressure.
It can be a very uncomfortable feeling when your ears will not pop. The pressure might be relieved by chewing gum, opening and closing the mouth in an exaggerated manner or by putting heat next to the ears for a few minutes.
