@WNP78 I damaged mine temporarily diving, the pain lasted about 2-4 weeks.

You get a similar sensation diving, except, it's so much more painful if you don't correct it. I only dived to 7 meters, but my ears popped several times on the decent.

Well it certainly wasnt a pleasent experience, thats for sure. @WNP78

‘Bout sixty times now I reckon

@GhostHTX that's pretty dangerous. If you ascend/descend too quickly when your Eustachian tube is blocked, you can damage your eardrums

I used to travel a lot with work, but luckily I very seldom experienced this.

One time, though, I had to get on a flight with a complete sod of a sinus infection. I could actually hear the peeeeeeeeeep of the pressure equalisation inside and outside my head.

That sucked.

Никогда. Не знаю как но это так.

A lot, when in planes, which i haven't been in for like 2 years rip
Lifts do this too, recently even going up 15 floors causes it

When I flew that Cessna-182 a while back, my ears definitely did "pop". But for some reason, they never "pop" anywhere else. I'm guessing this is because of altitude changes, higher and lower pressure levels in the air, you'll sometimes experience rapid changes in altitude if you're on a really crazy winding road, but for some reason that just doesn't happen to me.

When I’m ascending, I don’t feel anything. But when I’m descending, they pop lol.
Wait. Puffy as in they pop, or something else?

my ears constantly feel puffy during ascent and descent, but if i swallow or yawn it goes away for 5 seconds or so.

like once becuase I chew gum during descent now and I have flown at least 10 times in fourteen years

Never did

Never

too many

Even small planes
