richglanzav Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 does anyone suffer with this? please someone tell me they do and they know of a good cure or helping aid for it lol. i went on a flight to mallorca and i felt like my head was gna actually explode ive literally never felt anything like it. well we got another flight with a 4 year old girl aswell and im concerned for her little ears doing the same as mine so i wanna try to get something. p.s ive tried all the usual stuff, i.e the valsalva effect, sucking sweets, swallowing, blowing up a balloon (much to the amusement of kids on the flight lol). anyone know of anything good to use? looking at 'earplane plugs' that have got rave reviews so might try them and a decongestant spray maybe aswell.

Gainzy Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 i tell you mate im gna admit i almost cried lol and im a grown man haha its fucking excruciating and gainzy mate it comes in different forms for different people but you sound exactly like me. no pain on take off and ascent then when getting really high i cant hear properly its like my ears are underwater lol can heara bit but its very fuzzy. then the dreaded descent is pain time.I totally understand but people who don't really can't feel the pain I wouldn't want anyone to have it I'm going to try ear plugs before take off so hopefully it can't build up as much, bit off topic but I can pick up harsh signals aswell like when people turn the tv on lol no idea if there connected but it's like air channel waves sometimes there harsh to but it's a slight sense of the same thing..hard to explain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 its the same thing when rappidly going down the mountain !!! next time block your nose and breath out tru your nose ( not possible ) so pressure will pop your ear drums back out !!!! it works Quote Link to post Share on other sites
teta Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 is it the same feeling like driving at high altitude yawning works for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lew777 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I've heard before if you sit in front of the wings that helps or get your ears candled a week before you fly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Chewing gum. I was pretty much deaf for the 1st 3 days after my 1st flight. Now I just chew gum when flying and it really helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yaristurbo Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Pop your ears not very comfortable but worked for me, I had headphones in landing and didn't feel a thing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
