My eustachian tubes have blocked driving down a mountain and now I can't hear What do i do next?
Sub aqua divers and airline pilots clear their ears (equalize the pressures) by performing the Valsalva maneuver (see the link below). To do this you hold your nose, close your mouth and gently 'blow out' your ears. This should clear your ears unless you have a bad cold or an allergy which is blocking your eustachian tubes, in which case you will have to wait for them to gradually equalise on their own.

The Eustachian tubes
Can allergies cause blocked eustachiantubes?
Yes, allergies can cause blocked Eustachian tubes. When the body reacts to allergens, it can lead to inflammation and swelling in the nasal passages and throat, which may extend to the Eustachian tubes. This blockage can result in symptoms such as ear pressure, discomfort, and difficulty hearing. Managing allergies effectively can help alleviate these symptoms and promote proper Eustachian tube function.
What connects the middle ear to the throat helps equalize middle ear pressure?
