Ear crunch / popping from heavy Deadlifts

[BrooklynBB]

Anyone else have a problem with thier inner ear popping or crunching during heavy DL's? I was pulling a few today and my left ear was whacky. Not excessively holding the breath, but yeah the last 2 reps were a bitch. But the popping was throughout the set, even when I wasn't breathing heavy.

Any ideas???

its perfectly normal. alot of times during heavy squats or deads i have experienced a short term hearing loss. kind of like when you go up in a airplane or drive in high altitude. im not sure why it happens, but it does, and to alot of people im sure.
i think its a good thing for the mental aspect of it. everything gets tuned out and its just you and the bar
