Pretend to Chew Gum. I've got sensitive ears and that gets'em everytime.

Pinch your nose and blow out, you will hear the pop. I have had that and I know how you feel. All the best.

If they don't pop, then take a mucolytic like Robitussin. It will thin the mucous in your ears and allow them to pop. This works for me and others.
