I can make a thunder-like noise in my ear

[bob280]

I don't know if anyone else can do this but i can make a thundering sort of a noise in my ear on command. I can only do it for about 5-10 seconds. I can't stop doing it and my ears are starting to hurt. i just can't stop doing it since yesterday,it's like cracking your knuckles. I don't know how to stop and i'm afraid my ears are being damaged . Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Wow, I've been able to to this since I was a kid (I'm 50 now)!  I never knew it had a name or that only a small percentage of people can do it.  I found this forum because I have a small popping noise in my left ear when I do this for the past few days.  I'm going to make a Dr appointment because the pop sound isn't going away.

Like many of you I can make my ears pop at will, but I hope someone is familiar with another manifestation.  I can't remember when this began.  When getting my eyes examined and they shine a bright light in my eyes I hear that thunder noise.  It has also happened on occasion when going out in bright sunlight without sun glasses.  It surprised eye doctors when I mentioned it.  They speculated it might be caused by a head injury many years ago.  I always though it was something everyone experienced.

im currently 29, I've been able do this ability my entire life, I can do it for as long as I like, it seems to raise my temperature. I've done it for hours on end just to see what it would do, after a few hours it turns into a crackly sound, I can make it as quiet or as loud as I require ,I can talk, read and listen and still do this, when my ears need popping I do it, I usually do it when I want to turn out, it all helps my imagination.... like going to la-la land, good to know there are other out there that can do it.

Was just laying in bed,  unable to sleep.  Thundering away as I do when I have nothing else to do.
Finally decided to try an figure out "how"  and came upon this thread!  This was great read.
I've always been able to do it, an some clarity was nice...  Although i like others were hoping for telekinesis ;)
