I also have the same problem. Usually swallowing or yawning helps. Otherwise I take lozenges.

once i got flu and my ears were blocked. when the air pressure changed as the plane took off and landed, terrible pain developed in my ears.

discovered a good trick. take a deep breath, and then close your mouth and nose, and blow out as hard as possible. this would force air into the middle ear, and balance out the air pressure difference.

i read this method not recommended if you got flu for risk of ear infection.

tested and proven. recommended by others too. natural way to balance air pressure. ear plugs dont work trust me.

breathe in to take air into your lungs and then breathe out gently *but* with your mouth closed and nostrils pinched with your fingers. yes, gently but i'm impatient so i always breathed out hard. it's up to you to adjust the amount of force used.

It doesnt work for the breathing.. there was a few times i had severe headache after landing due to the pressure. I remembered the pain in the ear was very extreme when the plane was landing, and it took weeks to heal

Pinch your nose and "blow". Works for me 100%

I always buy a tube of mentos (mint type) and start chewing on them once the airplane is getting ready to take off! The mint helps to open the air passages and the chewing action helps relieve the air pressure. 1 tip is to start chewing on them before the plane is in the air. HTHs!

Thanks for the advice peeps! I've tried some of the methods here but it doesn't work for me... maybe my ear is weird lol.. Anyway, i'm not sure if this is normal but sometimes there's still pain in my ear for like 24 hrs after landing..

Thats why i wanted to give the air-pressure earplugs a try. Any lobangs?

i'm not saying it doesn't work, i used this method myself.

i'm saying if you got cold/flu, using this method to equalize the pressure may risk ear infection as you are forcing air (which may contain flu virus thru eustachian tube.

tested and proven. recommended by others too. natural way to balance air pressure. ear plugs dont work trust me.
