What is the best way to control the "popping" in your ears when on an airplane?
Question:
Answers:
There is a knack to be learned.
With teeth almost closed, jut your jaw forward forcefully (as far as your face muscles can make it go) and lower your jaw in the extended position. Repeat several times as the plane is climbing. This opens the valves in your throat at the lower end of the tubes that go to your ear.
If you do it properly right now, as you sit before your computer, you will hear a noise in your ears.
It is easier to do if you do it early rather than late.
Chewing gum is also recommended but I think is less effective.

You can drink water, chew gum, or simply swallow. The key on the descent is to do it early enough - you should start it at least 15 minutes out. Usually you get warnings from the crew around 10 minutes out when you are told to turn off your electronics.
Many people fall into the trap of waiting too long (i.e., when the landing gear comes down that's about 3 minutes to landing).
All you need to do is talk alot or chew some gum, then your ears wont "Pop" you can yawn, that always works for me.
swallow, or hold your nose and close your mouth and blow.it equalizes the pressure you are feeling in your ears.
