Ear pressure problems on every descent, is there a fix?
-
#1 My ears hurt on every descent even when I am not sick. Colleagues do not have this. Any fix?

#2 Nurse and ex crew: try the valsalva earlier and gently on descent, chew gum, use a decongestant nasal spray before descent if a doctor agrees, and get an ENT to check for a narrow eustachian tube. Some crew use pressure regulating earplugs. If it is every descent, see the ENT, do not just suffer.
