Popping their ears. I can "pop" my ears by opening my eustachian tubes on demand. I can even hold them open if I want to. Apparently a lot of people can't do that.
Ear rumbling!
Do you know people who can't do this? Seems pretty common.
Holy shit, I can do that too. I noticed just now because of your comment.
Thank you for unlocking my new power.
That right there is a skill I learned. When I was a teenager I got these terrible sinus headaches, driving up and down hill would get me. Then I went to flight school. I can control the pressures in my head pretty precisely now.
I can do this too. It feels like I'm trying to flex my jaw muscles downwards. And makes that satisfying crackling noise when they open up.
I can also do this but it feels like I’m flexing them outwards, not down. Weird!
TIL there are people who can’t do this
Same; can you also, by any chance, wiggle them?
I can pop them also! Which is good because I need to do it frequently because of sinus problems 'clogging' them.
I can do this but it makes me yawn
