ok, you may fall of your chair laughing, but have been wondering..............................

[waterfalls]

When you hold your nose and blow to pop your ears, does air actually come out of them???

pmsl

btw - I have no idea, though I doubt it.

Try it in water, then you would see.

My guess is no.

However I swear when I was little and my mum was smoking while driving (I know, shock horror) she forgot to exhale and smoke came out of her ears. Everyone tells me it can't have been, but I saw it

I want you all to do it now, it really feels like air is coming out

ROFL!

Hey, I'm serious

No, it jsut made me feel dizzy.

however, if i blow my nose hard, my right eye's tear duct bubbles....

But if air came out your ears wouldn't go pop ... they'd go whoooooooosh instead ...

OK. How about this one.... If you sneeze with your eyes open, is it true it creates enough force for your eye balls to pop out?

They go pop first if there is a wax build up, then they do go whoooooooosh.

Nah, I think the pressure in the ears is altered. You could always place deflated balloons on either ear and watch the result

lol

It is the increase in pressure when your ear drum is 'squashed' and then released the space for air changes in your ear and only air that was in your ear is displaced, so air does come out but not the same air you hold in...... is there a pub quiz anywhere I think they might be missing a member!

Lacrimosa

So I was right.

My grandad used to 'blow' cigarette smoke out of his ears!

if your tubes for ear nose and throaght are perforated enough it would be possible but only if they are very perforated
