How in the world do I make my ears pop?? Gum and yawning aren't working! Help!?

Answer 1

Try this:

1. Pinch your nostrils shut
2. Take a mouthful of air
3. Using your cheek and throat muscles, force the air into the back of your nose as if you were trying to blow your thumb and fingers of your nostrils
4. Or you could pinch your nose and close your mouth, and then gently blow out
5. If all fails, ask your doctor about it

If theses don't work try this website: http://www.entdr.com/eaat.html

Answer 2

Some divers tricks, if swallowing doesn't work, pinch your nose shut and try slowly pushing air into your nose. Don't allow air to escape just keep increasing the pressure until your ears equalize. I do this slowly as too fast can hurt.

Answer 3

this is going to sound really weird but it works for me, fill up the bathtub and lay down. Take a deep breath and go as deep as you can and try and pop it there. The pressure on your eardrums helps!

Answer 4

Hold your nose and gently blow..that is what my daughters told her to do when her ears get stopped up. And she has lost of problems with her ears. Just dont do it real hard at first. Or hold your nose and swallow

Answer 5

Hold your nose and mouth closed and blow out. Try it gently at first.

Then see your doctor. You may have and ear infection.

Answer 6

Try taking a shower or putting your head under water.

Answer 7

..alternatively yawning usually does the trick.
