I'm still learning about ear rumbling and how it all works. I can definitely make my ears pop manually but I can't seem to get the rumbling part down. Whenever I lower the volume for my ears, it simply sounds like a empty echo or cave inside my ears. How do I get my ears to rumble?
Try starting with a big yawn: this turns on rumble for me 100% of the time.
Also yawning with your mouth closed.
Bear in mind that flexing some muscle in your ear (eustachian tube click) is independent of the ear rumble
I don't remember the technical details. There apparently used to be a subreddit for clicking your ear tubes. I didn't know the sub closed
Try saying the letter M sound. Then stop the flow of air with your tongue, but bear down and keep trying to push the M out. Then pop your ears while holding that. It’s not something that requires any effort or power, but just trying to describe the feeling. It’s the best I can do, sorry!
try any number of different triggers. once you feel a constant outward pressure in your ears and a rumble (sounds almost exactly like putting your head inside of a bathtub that's being filled), you know you found the nerve connection to that muscle.
If it's especially hard for you to trigger it for more than a second, you can train it, like any other muscle.
I am no help, I just flex something without moving anything and it happens. I’m loosing rumbling power in my left ear though..
Me too it's like I have a muscle I can tense up deep in my ear without doing any other type of movement. Popping my ears feels like I'm doing something with my epiglottitis but the rumble for me is just its own thing.
i think at first i couldn't do it either but i saw someone say to tense your eyes really hard when you close them and it worked for me, i just progressively started to tense my eyes less until i got in control of the muscle if i recall correctly
