What happens when you pop your ears too much?

Popping your ears too frequently can lead to discomfort, ear pain, or a temporary feeling of fullness. Over time, excessive popping may irritate the Eustachian tubes, potentially causing inflammation or dysfunction. In some cases, it can also lead to barotrauma, which is damage caused by pressure changes, affecting the inner ear. It's best to pop your ears only as needed to equalize pressure, especially during activities like flying or diving.
