Usually this symptom is the result of an ear or sinus infection. Swallowing hard may open the eustachian tubes, which equalize pressure within the ear. but if you're clogged up, it may not help. YOur doctor can prescribe an otic solution that may help as well, as may decongestants and a humidifier in the room. If it becomes extremely painful, the ER can address this problem very effectively.
Depends on the exact cause!
In case of infection I use Hydrogen Peroxide( Food Grade ), as drying agent.
It's available from any Chemist along with an eye-dropper for application.
A couple of drops in each ear will identify an ear infection by a fizzing action.
Applications both morning & night should clear any possible infection.
If Hydrogen Peroxide is overdosed, any impacted wax may be softened with some warm olive oil or "Cerumol".
As I am prone to these types of infections, I apply a couple of drops of Hydrogen Peroxide to each ear nightly.
Does the trick!
Chewing Gum can also help.
Ears
Ears "pop" when there is a change in pressure. It is the bodys way to prevent discomfort from pressure changes.
During a tornado, changes in air pressure can cause your ears to "pop." This happens as your Eustachian tubes try to equalize the pressure inside your ears with the changing external pressure.
As the plane climbs, the pressure drops, even in a pressure cabin. The pop is your ears equalizing from ground pressure to altitude pressure.
When you climb higher the air pressure changes and the pressure inside of you hasn't changed so the pressure makes your ears hurt. After a while the pressure balances out and your ears wont hurt. That is why cabins are pressurized to help reduced pain from pressure difference.
It has to do with air pressure. Whenever there is a big difference between the air pressure inside your ears and outside your ears the ear drum expands or contracts to try to even out the pressure. This causes popping.
The Tips Of Their Ears
the pressure of the air
maybe you have infected ears, you shouldn't usually feel much pressure on your ears, usually just a slight tensing up...I really don't know. sorry D;
When you go up on an airplane, the air pressure around you decreases while the pressure inside your ears remains the same, causing a pressure difference. This pressure difference can lead to your eardrums feeling blocked or pressured. Swallowing, yawning, or chewing gum can help equalize the pressure by opening the Eustachian tubes and allowing air to flow in or out of the middle ear.
