not to get super weird on you, but Ive noticed an increase for a few years. Theres a lot of people who believe there is an event coming that changes earth and brings us into a higher level of consciousness. I believe that when that weird ear stuff happens, its just me being aware of the earths vibration rising as a whole. You can even think of it as switching or moving through time lines into a higher vibrational time line. You may have noticed friends and family that are lower vibe, just kind of not apart of your life anymore. Or suddenly, you dont need to smoke or other bad habits just fall away.
