    I came back to this video to tell ppl how to avoid insufferable ear pain!!!! Every time I traveled I dreaded the ear pain that would last for a week. It was excruciating pain that I’d be silently crying in the plane. This time I just used ear plugs (i found a pack of like 5 pairs at Walmart for $3) instead of ear phones to completely block any air before I even got on the plane. I also plugged my nose when the plane started to run to take off, and only took deep breathes through my mouth avoiding it to go through my nasopharyngeal canal. You want to basically only breathe in and out through ur mouth. It works!!! Do this until they stabilize the plane and stop going higher/lower altitudes. So before they start descending do the same. Hopefully this technique works for others

      Alicia Luis thank you so much for the advice! My friends want me to take a flight across the four with them but I've been resistant because the pain is so bad! Now I really think I might say yes. I'll definitely give this a try! 😀

    Wish I had seen this a few months ago, chewed gum so my ears didn’t pop but the left side of my head literally felt like it was going to explode the pain was so severe, almost felt like someone was drilling a hole through my head. Very important and if I fly congested I’ll take one next time

      Use Ear buds noise canceling and chew gum but really stretch ur jaw at times because it helps. I’ve been doing it all the time I fly on a plane and it helps me a lot.

    Ik a working 100000% way. Hold your nose and mouth. Then like push out the air without blowing out the air. But you need to do it like fast if you want both if the aears not to hurt

    I Recommend bringing a pack of gum with you. I always chew gum as soon as i start getting an uncomfortable feeling in my ears. Defenitly bring an extra pack if the plane is longer. Btw if he said this then sorry. I just wanted to comment about chewing gum right away.

    Great info! But I have ETD; or so that's what my ent thinks.. But TMJ as well. I was in horrific pain with these spotims but started on flonase, clozapine and anti inflammatories. Can I take all this with Sudafed and afrin? I'm
    Flying to orlando in October of this year and terrified my ear will burst. I can pop open right ear with a little pressure so it's not completely blocked but it doesn't seem to help clear any stuffy feelings. It itches and burns. My left one has some stuffy issues but no pain and opens so easily. My right one has a deep
    Ear pain and I have to yawn or open mouth to get it to pop to relieve any pressure. What do you suggest?
