Why do my ears feels better when i yawn?

Question

I have ear infection and it is blocked. However when i yawn, it has a sound and my ears can hear more efficiently?

Answer 1

When you yawn you are also equalizing the pressure in your ears, like what you do in a airplane. It might be that your ear infection presses against your ear drum and yawning temporarily relieves the pressure making you hear better and even making your ear feel more comfortable

Answer 2

It's all to do with your sinuses. You have a very small tube that links the ear to the nose and throat. When you get an infection this often clogs up ( same with a head cold) When you yawn or pop your ears you are "hearing" the air passing through that tube.
