In this case, I think so... I have seen some pretty young kids reason things out. Kind of giving up hope on this one here.

The approach here seems to be to cry out for help with little or no info provided, then fail to answer questions that would help with diagnosis, then cry for help again. It's a one-way conversation - out.

Probably has a bad connection somewhere between the ears and the brain. There's your popping!

Smokey, in order to get help you need to give more info. Go back, read and write back with answers some of the questions you've been asked. That's all part of the diagnostic process and you're the one uniquely positioned to do that part.
