Hating Airplanes.

Hello TSR people :smile:

Soon I have a flight to another country for holidays, but it is a problem because whenever I am in an airplane, my ears hurt verrrry much which makes me feel dizzy. I have searched internet about it but it was useless as things such as chewing gum and drinking a lot of water during flight don't help. Has anybody got any tips of how to reduce the pain? :smile:

Do something else like listen to music or watch a movie and it will distract you from the pain

This happened to me before. I usually put my head up which helps. Don't read a book during the flight.

Glad I'm not the only one here with this problem. I've never heard that putting head up helps. :smile:

Once you reach cruising altitude, try blowing you nose while holding you nose and with your mouth shut, force the air to come out through your ears. It may help.

It is due to a pressure differential between air in the cabin and behind your ear drum. You need to reduce the pressure behind the drum. I find multiple swallowing or gulping, especially holding my nose helps. Start doing it as soon as you feel a pressure change instead of waiting till it hurts and keep doing it while your ears feel odd / deaf.
