In winter do your ears pop? For this reason

Have you ever had that weird "pop" in your ears when you go outside on a cold winter's day? It's not exclusive to you! Your body is trying to react to a rapid change in air pressure when you feel that popping sensation, and there are a few interesting reasons why it happens more often in the winter.Our ears may pop in the winter due to variations in air pressure, according to Dr. Deepti Sinha, lead consultant in the ENT department at the CK Birla Hospital (R), Delhi.Cold temperatures can cause lower air pressure, especially in small locations like the middle ear. The Eustachian tubes, which equalize the pressure on either side of the eardrum, are impacted by this pressure differential. When these tubes can't regulate pressure, we hear a popping sound in our ears," she said in a conversation with indianexpress.com.Furthermore, Dr. Sinha stated that problems from previous ear infections may contribute to middle ear fluid retention throughout the winter and generate continuous popping and cracking sounds.

The environment that seasonal pressure fluctuations and residual fluid create, which increases the risk of ear pops, emphasizes the importance of proper ear care during the colder months.Our ears may pop in the winter due to variations in air pressure, according to Dr. Deepti Sinha, lead consultant in the ENT department at the CK Birla Hospital (R), Delhi.
