Also I've been able to pop my ears whenever I want without the aid of the eyes just by using a small muscle located inside my ear, I discovered this after a nasty cold I had which blocked my nose and throat with thick mucus.

This! Could you please specify how do you make your ears pop when looking up? I mean, I'm not able to do so. He knows he is asleep because the ears stay plugged, everything he hears from then on sounds muffled. When doing it when awake he feels something similar, less exaggerated.

Edit: Ok so I just found out I'm able to do so, though for me it doesn't seem to be related to the eyes rolling. Is it like a pop that seems to go from the inside to the outside? What you feel when blowing with your nose held closed, when you want to unplugg your ears after a change of altitude?

Edit 2: It doesn't neccesarely result in a pop, it feels like a built up pressure inside your ears. Is it me or maintaining the pressure causes an urge to yawn? Maybe it's just that I'm sleepy as hell.

This might sound strange but I need to know if for you it also sounds kind off like the sound of the wind in your ears.
