valsalve. by whoever?

well, i think you should suck sweets and swallow alot whilest your on the plane then afterwards, hold your nose and blow through your nose. not really hard just a little so your ears pop, the swallow. repeat this until your ears are clear. by p-bennett

by macfanpro: You really can not. In a airplane, the barometric pressure (read: the pressure of the air) changes as the plane climbs and desends. The popping is your ears internal air escaping. How p-bennett's answer works is by inducing popping, equalizing the pressure.

It caused by change in pressure. When internal air pressure is higher than of surrounding it causes your ears to pop.


Why a persons ears may pop as they go up in an airplane?

Air pressure outside the body decreases, pressure inside the ear presses out on the eardrums. The "Popping" sensation is pressure equalizing through the Eustachian tubes.


Why do your ears pop when you're on an airplane (and how can you stop it)?

Your ears pop because of the difference in pressure between the air inside your ear and the air outside. As you get higher up, the air is less dense, meaning there’s less air pressure pushing on your eardrum from the outside and more pressure on it from the inside. The ear regulates its internal pressure through structures called the eustachian tubes, and when these tubes open and allow outside air into the ear, we experience that as a pop.With that in mind, you don’t want to stop your ears from popping; rather, you want to encourage it.Tricks to avoid uncomfortable pressure on your eardrum include anything that encourages frequent swallowing, like chewing gum. Yawning also helps. Or, you could try something called the Valsalva maneuver, which entails holding your nose shut, closing your mouth, and gently blowing, as if you were blowing your nose.
