Unpop Your Ears

Unpopping Your Ears Quickly, Relieving Congestion, Home Remedies, Alternative Me

From time to time, especially when there is a sudden change in air pressure (such as when flying or diving), your ears may develop a feeling of being stuffed up or needing to “pop.” This uncomfortable condition is called ear barotrauma. Barotrauma happens when the air pressure on either side of your eardrum becomes imbalanced. In order to regain this balance, the Eustachian tubes, which link your middle ear to the back of your throat, need to be opened up.[1] If you experience barotrauma, relieve the pressure by doing simple facial exercises for immediate relief. If your ears are frequently stuffed up, try treating the underlying cause of the condition, or using home remedies or alternative treatments.
