Travel Info How do i avoid earaches during plane trips aboad? Travel Tips yawn or bring chewing gum Others YAWN!!!!! No really, just yawn a lot. Chew gum during take off and landings. It helps with the pressure in your ears. Yawning or moving your jaw around also helps. and if you like snacks, change it up a bit with rice krispie treats and brownies or beef jerky and such. take a tylenol PM. be drowsy. eat a big meal before you fly. have a cocktail. relax! the same as when you drive up mountains. chew chew chew and chew. get those jaws working to help the ears adjust to different air pressure. I used to try all those tricks like yawning, gum, etc. Now I use earplanes - http://www.cirrushealthcare.com/earplane... . They are plugs that go in your ear and consist of a hypoallergenic silicone ear plug and a ceramic pressure regulator. As the cabin pressure changes, they permit air to flow in and out of your ear and they prevent that painful pressure from building up. I've been using them for about 4 years, most recently 2 weeks ago when I had to travel while sick with a bad cold (stuffed up, etc.). They make a HUGE difference. They're cheap, you can use them for 2 or 3 flights, and get them at most drug stores (and often at airport stores now but not so cheap then!). I've had problems with this for years. One thing that helps is to use a nasal decongestant before boarding the plane. |
