This is indeed true.I would never give false hope.In fact,all the other things of blowing up a paper bag,or holding your breath,standing on your head,etc.are ways of trying to move the hair away from the eardrum by internal pressure.That's why they sometimes actually work.My way is just so much better.You're welcome...

Screw all of those things! Let me show you a trick I learned in 'nam.

I've learned that hiccups can also be caused by eating too fast and swallowing air.I usually don't gulp my food,so all my hiccups seemed to be of the fallen hair variety.I found out first hand when I accidently inhaled a Jumbo Jack (oops).I was hiccupping literally all day non-stop.It was more than irritating.I went over to Mr. X's and he found me a cure online,God bless him.It supposedly stopped the hiccups immediately in 19 out of 20 people in a study,and it stopped mine immediately,as well,much too my relief and amazement.Here's what you do.

Take a tablespoon of dry table sugar (white) and swallow it.Try not to chew,or let it get too wet.The idea is to swallow it by moving your throat ( almost like a boa or python ,I imagine.)
Now you know...
