Popping and Pressure

My ear has been popping. Little pops. Sounds like popcorn sometimes. Sometimes just one or 2 pops. Also feeling pressure and reduced hearing that comes and goes. I've had tinnitus for 10 months but this is new. Anyone know what this is?

 

Most likely wax. Seasonal allergies and colds always clog my ears and when they're clogged I get those pops. It's the wax moving around and little pops of air getting through.

If you're sure your ears are clean, I don't know...

 

Thanks. Don't have a cold. Just got tested for allergies. Only have a tiny reaction to mold. Just had my ear cleaned too

 

Bump

Having this problem again, if anyone has any answers.

 

Could be Tensor tympani muscle related problem. Sounds like popcorn or morse code and is objective, so it can be heard by others. I had it for a while.

 

@Jkph75 I get them pretty often. I always attribute that to fluid in the ears? Sometimes when there is a change in posture, I get this pressure and my hearing fades in and out until it eases.
