Feeling blocked ears or ear pressure that just won’t shift? Whether it’s after a cold, sinus infection, or due to Eustachian tube dysfunction, these five simple methods might help you pop your ears and feel normal again. I cover tips like chewing gum, swallowing, and the Valsalva manoeuvre (just be sure to blow gently—too much pressure can damage your eardrum).
These can help if you’re dealing with that annoying full feeling or pressure after a virus or flight—but if they don’t work, please do seek medical advice.
Tried one of these? Let me know what helped—or if you’ve got a go-to trick I didn’t mention!
