How do you pop your ear drum to relieve presure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pinch and blow: The most direct way to do this is to pinch your nose closed, close your mouth, and then blow. This will force air up the eustachian tube. Also if you swallow frequently (chew gum) or yawn this will also tend to pop your ears.
