My one ear pops easily, the other not so much?

Question

i'm not sick. i've noticed this for over 3 years now. when i go to pop my ears by holding my nose and breathing through it my right ear pops easily but my left ear pops a fraction of a second later, and, you know how there are usually 2 popping sounds: one for when you fill your ear up with air and another when the air pressure releases. its the second part-releasing the pressure-that my left ear has a hard time doing. i get physicals every year and the doc always looks in both ears and says everything looks fine. anyone know what causes this?

Answer 1

no, my usually does this from time to time, what i do is chew gum and that usually does the trick.
