I have had this problem for about 4 years and it feels like I have popping water or air in my neck right behind my ear and it is painful sometimes if not all the time smoking makes it worse and if i close my mouth and blow hard I can push air into the tube and it relieves some of the pain temporarily and I can squirt a saline solution in my nose and lay my head back untill I feel the liquid draining over the area and then blow air into the tube again this gets the liquid into the tube successfully and relieves the pain temporarily while lubricating the canal.
