what is the safest way to pop your ears on a aeroplane

[HAnn521]

coey: I don't know about SAFE ways to pop your ears...but I have this same trouble on flights and I use any of these three techniques...

1. Simply chew some gum, takes time, but it can help.

2. Hold your nose, close your mouth, and try to blow air out your nose...it will try to flow through your ears, and hopefully pops them.

3. Try opening and closing your jaws (mouth) many times in a row...this can sometimes relieve the pressure.

When attempting any of these, please be careful...you don't want to put to much pressure on your ears! Oh and is an aeroplane the same thing as an airplane? ;0) *wink*
