Popping Ears
When your ears pop, it's your body's way of preventing a ruptured ear drum when the pressure inside your ear is drastically different from the outside.

The Fix: Hold your nose and close your mouth, and blow gently. As long as you're careful and gentle, it's not harmful to your body, and will help regulate the pressure in your ear.
