Tips and how to unpop your ears

From time to time, especially when there is a sudden change in air pressure (such as when flying or diving), your ears may develop a feeling of being stuffed up or needing to “pop.”

This uncomfortable condition is called ear barotrauma.

Barotrauma happens when the air pressure on either side of your eardrum becomes imbalanced.

In order to regain this balance, the Eustachian tubes, which link your middle ear to the back of your throat, need to be opened up.

If you experience barotrauma, relieve the pressure by doing simple facial exercises for immediate relief.

If your ears are frequently stuffed up, try treating the underlying cause of the condition, or using home remedies or alternative treatments.

Tips

 * Frozen foods can help. For example, try ice cream or frozen yogurt. Any type of food that can get your jaw moving can also be helpful. Try something that requires vigorous chewing.
 * Gently pull your ear tip and move it in circles.
 * Swallowing helps. Often chewing gum makes this much easier as it stimulates the release of saliva.
 * If you are constantly getting popped ears or a muffled sounding voice (sounds muffled to yourself only) this could be a sign of sinusitis or a sinus infection.
 * Plug your nose and blow out underwater.
 * For a good way to not blow your nose with your popped ear, is to get one tissue and put a little in your nose, not all the way, make sure it is still connected to the tissue so that if you lose the tissue, you can pull it back down.
