My sister got a Bluetooth headset and it reminded me that i cant use those because my ears heat up in less than 10 seconds after putting them on, in fact as i am typing this my ears are kinda of uncomfortably hot. Dust also cause my ears to heat, it usually the cause but it can also happen randomly as well as when i leave the PC monitor running when i sleep(same room).

there is some other stuff i thought to mention but i think it would be better for a post after discovering your body(e.g my cousin though all ppl can only see through one eye until recently because he himself can only see through one eye and that's how he found out he has only one functioning eye)

Also feel free to talk about NSFW stuff and is this post hard to read(sentence structure wise)? Cause i never know if ppl have hard time reading my post, and at the moment i find it hard to read myself

I can pop, or reverse pop my ears at will. Where most people talk about chewing gum to pop their ears on a plane I can push out and suck them in to change the pressure at will. It's useful to help regulate how much noise gets in (in a small way) too.

Same, there is a muscle in there that most people can't voluntarily control.
But we can!

Also, I've never heard anyone else mention the part about "reversing" their ears! Seems I'm not the only one!

I can do this too!

Same. It’s a very useful trick for scuba diving.

I can pop outwards by closing my mouth and nose and then putting pressure on my mouth walls with the air.
Reverse, I can manage only down to equal pressure, by simply drinking back my saliva.

What do you mean by pop ? Ro you hear a champagne bottlw “pop !” instead of the regular crackling noise ?
