Air pressure outside the body decreases, pressure inside the ear presses out on the eardrums. The "Popping" sensation is pressure equalizing through the Eustachian tubes.

possibly, because the wind may make your ears pop and that usually causes discomfort especially if you already have an earache then most likely it will make it worse. usually it just depends on how sensitive your ears are. if your ears are not very sensitive then your ears may not pop but if you have sensitive ears then your ears will more likely pop especially if the wind is uneven to both of your ears, for example, if you are riding in a car and the window on one side is open even just a centimeter and the window on your other side isn't open at all then that is most likely to make your ears pop because the pressure is uneven.
