I'm always tired after flights - even comfortable ones - and air pressure changes make my ears hurt and/or leave my hearing messed up for hours afterwards.

- tgsovlerkhgsel 7y agoAre you equalizing pressure properly?
- iEchoic 7y agoI've tried all the ways I've read on the internet to equalize ear pressure, but I'm not sure what "properly" is supposed to mean - should it always work? Should it be easy? Should it hurt? The valsalva maneuver seems to work the best for me but it doesn't always work and is often painful.
- cmurf 7y agoEveryone's a little different, you might need to do it more often - every minute during climb and decent. Or swallow just as frequently, gum can help - having something to swallow isn't necessary for it to be effective but it can be helpful to induce swallowing.
