saliva.Frequent Swallowing: Every time you swallow, the muscles around your throat activate to open your Eustachian tubes.Pressure Balance: Opening the tubes lets air flow in or out to equalize the pressure between your middle ear and the outside.Other Ways to Open Your EarsYawn: Forcing a big yawn stretches the throat muscles and pops the ears.Valsalva Maneuver: Pinch your nose shut, keep your mouth closed, and blow air out very gently.Toynbee Maneuver: Pinch your nose closed and swallow a sip of water.Suck on Candy: Hard candies or mints create the same swallowing action as gum.”}}
