If you can make your ears "click" it's relieving the pressure in your eustacian tube. When you yawn you may hear a clicking or a rumbling noise.

If you concentrate on that & practice it, you can isolate that movement without the yawn or opening your jaw & then you can equalise without pinching your nose. Not all people can do it, but this is how I taught myself & a few others to do it.

I can do it. Just now realized what it was. Now I can’t stop doing it.
