What Are Eustachian Tubes? According to WebMD, âThe Eustachian tubes connect the middle ears to the back of the throat. The tubes help the ears drain fluid. They also keep air pressure in the ears at the right level. When you swallow or yawn, the tubes open briefly to let air in to make the pressure in the middle ears equal to the pressure outside of the ears. Sometimes fluid or negative pressure gets stuck in the middle ear. The pressure outside the ear gets too high. This causes ear pain and sometimes trouble hearing,â resulting in something known as Eustachian Tube Dysfunction.
Yes, pulling on your ear physically manipulates the eustachian tube and changes the noise attenuation (so things sounds different). I'm no doc, but I would imagine it is a good thing if they are popping every day; it's when they don't pop that you are in trouble (clogged). Essentially, the eustachain tube is the sewer pipe for the ear and nose cavity (sorry if that is too vulgar). It takes out the trash and all infectious bacteria (very important, indeed).
