force yourself to yawn, or chew gum or drink water or do cardio exercises.

Equalization of pressure in your ears.\n\nAs you go higher in elevation, the air pressure is reduced but the air pressure inside your ears is still much the same as the pressure from when you were on the ground (higher).\n\nHigh pressure moves toward low pressure in an effort to balance out so it makes your ear drums make a popping sound.\n\n:)

Try dropping a few drops of rubbing alcohol in your ear.  Wait for a few moments, then tilt your head the other way and it should all come running out.

just gone through the same thing. It  when your ill ie; a cold then its not  ear wax its a build up of Flem(snot) in your ear then the ear has to produce more ear wax to stop the Flem  from entering the ear where it may cause damage to the ear drum. That is the function of ear wax to stop dirt and dust etc from entering the ear canals. Blow your nose until you feel the pressure in your ears this will help relieve the blocked up feeling for a bit, also putting you head over  a bowl of hot water with a towel over you will help.

you should see your ear doctor. if you get cold it gets worse if you wash your hair and keep it wet it happens more.don't listen to loud music. hight operating machines affects. the important advice try not to listen to it which will annoy you you have to think there is nothing in your ears so you will not think of it. a safe remedy put drop of olive oil in the ear  it will help

Try this:\n\n1. get a piece of paper towel.\n2. crumple it up\n3. push it into the bottom of a paper cup\n4. Pour steaming hot water into the cup\n5. Pour out the excess water, so you have a steaming paper in the bottom of the cup.\n6. Cup the effected ear with the steaming cup\n7. Wait 2-3 minutes.\n\nIt seems to help me alot.\n\nLet me know if it works for you too.

If none of the above helps me, I take a small piece of a tissue, roll it so that it is like a thick needle (or a thin Q-tips..) and carefully put it into my ear. Be careful and very cautious as you could hurt yourself as it's quite sharp. But this usually sucks out the liquid well. You may have to repeat it two or three times depending on the amount.\nBut again, be very careful and gentle not to hurt your eardrum!!!

EEK! I did  that at a concert when I was young. I think the worst of it was over in 2 days, but my ears had a slight ring for quite a long time after that.  Chances are you've done some permanent damage. You might want to go get a hearing test at a Ear/Nose/Throat doctor.

That can be a hard thing to do.\n  Try putting cotton balls in your ears.  \n  You will have to get them down to the size you need to fit comfortably in your ears.\n  You may try some drops that you can find at Wal-Mart or your local pharmacy that is called something like Swimmers Ears.\n  You may just have to wait for it to just absorb on it's own and if this is going to be a problem in the future you might consider ear plugs.\n\n  All in all,you may have to visit a Dr as there may be some underlaying problems.

This is guaranteed to work, that's if you follow the  instructions.\n\nHold your breath for as long as you can...about 10 -15 secs, at the sametime plug your ears(with your index fingers)\n\nGood Luck :)

Thats rather natural, however this should not only be the case when you are working out at the gym....  You should always have air inside your ears, otherwise they are blocked, and you will not be able to hear things clearly....

I suggest you let your doctor take a look. There may be various reasons why the pressure behind your eardrum is not equalizing properly. When your jaw moves it changes the relationship between the eardrum, the air in the cavity behind it, and outside world. The change in pressure is then sensed as a 'pop'. You may, for example, have some fluid blocking your Eustachian tube. Or you could have an ear infection. There's lots of things it might be, so your doctor is the best one to advise you.

1.  Try blow drying the ear gently.  It could be trapped water.\n\nor\n\n2.  Try a drop of rubbing alcohol in the ear a couple of times a day and give it a few days to work\n\nIf all else fails, it could be that soft wax has blocked the ear canal and it needs to be irrigated.  You can buy flush kits at the pharmacy, but it may be better to see your doctor
