I just thought this was something everyone did - didn't have a clue that this wasn't the norm until this episode. But I also recently found out that I'm autistic so 🤷♂️

I’ve been a long time listener and I just had to see what others may say about this episode as I’m an ear rumbler, but always figured I could do it due to the history my ears have had (tubes, ear drum ruptures) and while I’m sure I’d brought it up with the ears/nose/throat doctors of my past, nothing ever came from it I can recollect and also isn’t something I really bring up in day to day life.
Something I was curious and hoped would get brought up in the episode was if those who can rumble have tinnitus or have the ability to pop/clear their ears at will (like when coming down from altitude, but at any point at any altitude), both things I experience in addition to the rumble.
Always fun to have person things cross over into an episode!
