How can I pop my ears?

Answer by  frequentFlyer (15)

First try something simple, like a big yawn or chewing gum. Suck on mints or candy, as the continuous jaw movement could help. If those don't work, suck in a breath, close your mouth and pinch your nose. Pretend that you're going to blow your nose very gently at first, then increase the pressure until you hear the little pop.

Take a good breath, shut your mouth, plug your nose, and carefully attempt to exhale. This forces air from the back of your throat through your Eustachian tubes to your middle ear, equalizing the pressure inside your ear with the pressure outside your ear. Popping your ears should be done sparingly, though, as it stresses your eardrums.

The most common methods for popping your ears are forcing yourself to yawn and to swallow. However, if you have a head cold, it is very difficult to pop them.

When I used to ride the airplanes all the time, the best way for me to get rid of that annoying ear issue, is I would hold my nose and blow. If that would not work, then the second thing I'd do would be to keep yawning until the issue went away.
