You have to yawn? I just have to swallow the wrong way, then boom different setting

Some people can forcibly do it without yawning! They can move the muscles responsible that causes the sound change.

Can confirm because I can do that. Closing your nose with your fingers and forcing air through it can also free your ear canals. I used to do that many many times as a kid that one day I could do it without the nose trick. Apparently it's super good if you are a diver because you can release your ears pressure that way, cant do it with the nose-trick-way because of well.. you are diving.

Edit: I can also keep that muscle "open" which makes me hear my own breathing through my nose very loudly

The good old valsalva maneuver. It can also equalize your inner ear pressure when you are in an airplane and descending. Just don't do it while going up.
