Airplane and bad cold caused the problem. Someone here said they turned head upside down, so I tried that. Laid on the bed (on my back) dropped head over edge and it wasn't immediate but within a couple minutws, VIOLA. Also needed to repeat the process a couple time.

It's now January 4th and I'm just starting to feel better. But that's after being sick for what? 7 weeks or so? Everyone in the northern Baltimore area is getting this crap and it's lasting 4-6 weeks. The last 10 days or so I've had this ear popping issue. My 8 yr old daughter we just had to give her something to make her sleep so she'd stop screaming & crying cuz all she could do was hear her heartbeat in her ear. My husband had it 4 days, and now me for 10 and counting. 1st trip to the doc (after hours care) he said it's a virus & gave me robitussin with codeine and a benzotate? pill to stop the cough. Two days later (Thurs before Xmas) I started vomiting & the big D. That lasted 24hrs. Then the rest of the cold remained but I had nausea and my ears wouldn't pop. It started in the left, and eventually became both. I returned to the doc, this time my regular, and he said it was the virus that caused everything. The mucous was in overabundance in my system causing what had happened over Xmas, and the blocking of my eustachean tubes. Otherwise, I wasn't infected. He gave me an antibiotic with steroid, Flonase, and a decongestant liquid which I seem to only be able to take @ night since it makes me sleepy as crap. I've been on these meds for a week now. My head is clearer, but I cannot hear dammit. No flying issues here just had a cold/upper respiratory virus since Thanksgiving. It’s now January 4th and I’m just starting to feel better.

On the drive back to my house my left ear started having a similar problem. Long story short... 4 days later my right ear will pop a little bit but it closes back up.. My left ear on the otherhand won't pop at all.. And I've tried pretty much EVERYTHING. I got a bad cold and i started feeling like i had an ear infection in my left ear.. So i went to the doctor..

They cost about $7.00. They're designed to help when flying and you can't get your ears to equalize in pressure. They worked. They're only good for about 2 flights but they do work as long as you follow the instructions to the letter.

It started about 33 years ago. I turned my head to the left and felt a pull in my throat. A week later my rt. ear clogged. Obviously I had a weakness in my throat (muscles)that caused the muscle pull and clogged rt. ear. My ear opened up after about a year and a half. Since then my rt. ear has been sensitive to clogging. But thank the Lord it has opened after a short while. Perhaps many of you people have a weakness that causes a lot of your clogging. Try Sudafed and a lot of swallowing.

I took Flight with a bad cold. On decsent my ears were popping bad. After the flight I couldn't get my right ear to pop. After two days of not being to hear out that ear. I took 2 benadryl and one sudafed. Waited about an hour. Then I took some nasal spray to make sure my nasal passage was nice and clear. Then I laid on the bed with my left ear down on the pillow and my clogged ear up. I covered my nose with my thumbs and pushed air up into my nasal passages. I immediately felt air pressure push into my ear that wasn't clogged. It was hard to get air to push into my clogged ear. But once I felt air push into the unclogged ear, I continued to push constantly(not harder) untill I finally felt the passage way to my clogged ear start to open slowly. It took a few attempts to finally push air into the passage way going to my clogged ear, but after several trys it worked.I kept doing this over and over again until my ear was finally completely unblocked. What a relief!! The meds brought down the congestion and inflammation and allowed memo be able to push the air through to my ear that wouldn't pop. It wasn't easy but it worked. I fly all the time and never had this problem until I flew when I was sick so no doubt that the inflammation in my nasal area caused the problem. Hope this helps. Let me tell you what worked for me.

I have had bronchnitis for 8 weeks, and went to the east coast by plane. I came back..all was fine until I went camping in the Sequoia Nat'l Park for a few days and had to ascend and descend by car..from 5000 elevation. My right ear plugged, and I yawned it off. Then my left ear was stubborn so I yawned, took my zyrtec and then did that maneuver where you blow out with your nose and mouth closed several times. It just got worse. I'm on day 10 of ear pressure and plug in my left ear. I've seen the primary care doc twice. I'm on Zyrtec, proair HFA (albuterol) for my wheezing, advair *steroidal inhaler for my bronchitis, and using a neti pot (those little genie looking bottles you use saline solution in to clear your sinus passages everyday). The pain in the ear was worse the first few days but now it's just a dull uncomfortable feeling. I don't need advil anymore to ease the pain. But I can't hear. I'm a teacher and I start teaching next week. I can hear my heart beat, my own breathing, and myself talk as loud as if through a megaphone in my head! And I have to talk all day long when teaching. AHHHHHH! I'm going nuts. I am going in to the see the doctor again and HOPING I get a referral to see an ENT specialist. I'm desperate. Hi.

I actually broke a Eustachian tube valve and was grounded for five years. I just got back from a trip and was coming down with a cold. I was going on 48 hours of not hearing and tried everything listed here except sucking a dick, (though I did try sucking a medium medicine bottle..lol) I went to my Chiropractor who worked on the pressure relief point for my sinus cavity and 4 hours later I could hear. I do admit I had a couple of vodkas to thin the blood. I normally have congested ears for a week and he really was able to open up the passage and allowed a speedy recovery. If you live in Saint Louis go see Dr Lask, his website listed above. For all others suffering ask local Chiropractors if they can open sinus. Good luck and I think this is the real answer.

I found a site (much like this one) and the first comment that i saw was, "Take a tissue and cover your fingers. Next plug your nose. (DO NOT HOLD NOSE!!! As air can still escape). Blow at medium strength until you hear two pops coming from the bad ear. Once complete yawn three times and it will fell better." I too had that prob not to long ago (it sucks).
