How Does Popping Your Ears Affect Your Tinnitus?

[MikeB1996]

Just a while ago I discovered this when I was going to bed, when I yawn I usually pop my ears, and noticed that it makes the left ear's tinnitus much more quiet, however it makes my right ear's tinnitus louder... Any idea why this could be? And how does this affect your tinnitus? If it affects it at all.

My ears feel more full now... Still waiting for a callback about manual ear wax removal. I hope my wax makes my tinnitus seem louder than it actually is.

Tinnitus usually behaves weird. When I yawn, my tinnitus increases, when I turn my neck tinnitus increases but reduces when I push my jaw back. Tinnitus is super crazy or am I?

Popping my ears makes my T louder. I started popping my ears several months ago as a habit and I noticed that it increased the T. Sometimes now I do it without thinking, catch myself, and have to remind myself to stop otherwise it will go up like clockwork.

When I pop my ears, relieving the pressure build up, my T doesn't change at all. My ears just go from feeling full to not feeling full.
