  You really should see a doctor to have your ears checked as there does see to be a problem. My brother-in-law had a bad cold and he took a flight during that time and he has lost most of his hearing because of it. The pressure can cause ear problems so I would advise you to see a doctor for help. Check with your local Health Department to see if they see patients for this type of problem. If they don't ask them is there a program for people without insurance that could help you. Some Health Departments have a separate program that helps people with low pay and no insurance so make sure you ask. Some County's have a program that will help people for free or for a low fee for the appointment. Some Churches have programs where they have volunteer doctors that help with their program either for free or for low fee appointments. Call your local County Commissioner and ask is there a program in your area. Call your local Medicaid office and ask if you would qualify for any of their programs. Call your State Representative and ask if there are any state or local programs that they could recommend to you for help.
