Why do my ears hurt anytime I am on a airplane?

My ears hurt when flying on an airplane...Help?

  • How do I prevent ear pain and popping on an airplane and after a flight? Any ways of helping or avoiding this? thanks! I promise there will be a best answer=10pts!!!

  • Answer:

    Eat or chew gum, yawn, or swallow air. These usually work. A more complex way is to pinch your nose shut, close your mouth, exhale in order to build up air in your mouth, and then swallow. This is pretty good at popping ears. If that doesn't work, you might have an ear infection or some other problem that is preventing your ears from popping (a cold, flu, allergies, sinus trouble, etc.).

Chew on gum during the flight. Also try swallowing a lot. (But don't swallow your gum :))

Suck really hard on a hard sweet (wow that sounds wrong haha) also put earphones in & keep them pushed in while taking off then push them in again when landing, it works everytime for me & i dont feel a thing it actually feels kinda nice haha, hope it works for you too ((: xx

Drinking any liquid (like water or a cola), and chewing gum.

myy parents tell me to chew gum.. idk it doesnt make ur hears pop or hurt.. so just chew gum on the plane !

popping is required....you need to adjust to the pressure...if you dont pop them they will hurt!...when you feel the pressure hold you nose and blow gently..the popping actually feels kind of good lol

Chewing gum usually works! Or try ear plugs

That's the pressure change from the ground up in the air. It's normal, and easily prevented. Sip on a drink through the flight, or chew gum, and it'll clear right up.
