    It can be bad. I also have this superpower, I can pop my ears (open my eustachian tubes) by flexing my throat muscles. The bad part comes when this happens on its own over and over and makes me dizzy. Thankfully that’s only happened twice, but once was almost a whole day. I pop my ears much less now to try and avoid overdoing it.

      I find my hearing gets out of whack unless I pop my ears a lot. I also get weird echoing and lose my hearing when I exercise hard…

      I have a suspicion there is something wrong with my ears, but don’t care to find out.
