Thank you too, I do think it's brave to share your unsettling experiences, and call it how you see/hear it. I try and do that. Good work on the fat loss. I know that's not easy to do, either. It's really helped me to learn about body work and exercise. It's over the last few years things have really improved, and for a couple of years I had almost constant ear popping. It would increase when I was in better moods too. I don't know how much this is to do with nerve compression. Humming also stimulates the vagus nerve, which can regulate breathing and digestion. That can be a good thing to focus on: how humming at different frequencies makes you feel
