What Causes Left Ear Popping When Having Small Burp?
Every time a have a small burp, almost like a hiccup burp, my left ear pops. It does NOT pop when I swallow or yawn, only when I have a small burp and happens every single time I do. It doesn't hurt just more annoying. Wondering if this is something I should get checked out..it's going on 24 hours of this happening

hello
Dont worry, the popping may be due to the eustachian (tube between your ear and nose) tube suddenly opening up due to increase in pressure when the burp comes.
This will settle down in a day or two. relax!
Take care
