My ears are extremely sensitive to air pressure, especially when it is changing rapidly. When I am on a descending plane, my ears hurt so bad I could cry, and it usually takes 24-48 hours for them to pop and my hearing will then return to normal. (Chewing gum on the plane or using EarPlanes does not work.)
It's been a week now though that I have been off of the plane, and my left ear still hasn't popped yet - I can barely hear through it. Does anyone that goes through this have any tips for me on popping my ears?
I've had a cold the past couple of days too. I know this is probably contributing to the problem.
