Title: Why can we hear nothing when we yawn?
Post by: thedoc on 12/01/2016 16:32:49

When I yawn, for a brief moment, I can hear nothing of the outside world. Its feels like my ears were stuffed with some best earplugs. Do you have this feelings too? If yes, could you enlighten me what is going on here? Thanks.
