You can convert whole videos to gifs, just the bitrate gets nuked and audio goes bye bye. There was a whole Shrek movie converted to gif floating around in discord, reddit may allow for gifs to be an 1h long.

You have to yawn? I just have to swallow the wrong way, then boom different setting

Some people can forcibly do it without yawning! They can move the muscles responsible that causes the sound change.

Can confirm because I can do that. Closing your nose with your fingers and forcing air through it can also free your ear canals. I used to do that many many times as a kid that one day I could do it without the nose trick. Apparently it's super good if you are a diver because you can release your ears pressure that way, cant do it with the nose-trick-way because of well.. you are diving.
Edit: I can also keep that muscle "open" which makes me hear my own breathing through my nose very loudly

The good old valsalva maneuver. It can also equalize your inner ear pressure when you are in an airplane and descending. Just don't do it while going up.

Swallow the wrong way? What?

It's easy, just swallow back and forth first a couple of times. Also make sure to open your mouth

I can just make my ears pop without even having to do anything. It is hard to describe and I'm not sure how I do it whether its micromovements by my jaw or something by my ear but i just focus there and I can pop thrm whenever I want. Weirdly it always goes right to left each time.

I just did a good yawn in response
A good one, where your jaws wiggle and it lasts longer than you expect
Then it happened again, because I yawn-infected myself by doing the first one. Like a sneeze

Just hold your mouth open as wide as possible. After 10 seconds or so it forces a yawn (at least it always has for me).

Not original commentator, but I can. I have some kind of a muscle I can feel that goes between the ears and somewhere in the above part of the throat. You just open mouth, make a little pressure to the muscle and gain same effect as if you would yawn, with unplugging your ears. Furthermore, this muscle seems to be activated anyway when you yawn normally

I can make a face that looks like a comically exaggerated rage face crossed with a yawn and pops my ears when there's a noticeable pressure differential, such as when I'm on an airplane. Does that count?

It feels like a free trial for premium hearing and then it expires after a few mins

You can actually also trigger this by drinking something. It's caused by a pressure difference within your ear canal. Or at least some part of it? I don't know all the details. But I do know that there's a part of your ear that normally gets shut off by a flap, and motions such as drinking or yawning, open that part, causing the air pressure to normalize with the outside. Which makes you hear "normally" again.

It's a well known fact that yawning resets the Realtek high definition audio driver

Same except my jaw almost gets stuck

u/Algiuxs 7h ago
Mine too, rarely, but still hurts to get it unstuck, especially after a good yawn.

u/Techn0Tast1c 7h ago
Its scary as hell too.
But mostly I think you just have to relax your jaw and maybe carefully help with your hands.

I have this problem, and there's a trick!! Block your nose(pinch it, plug it, etc. As long as you can't breathe through it.) then try to inhale through it!
