i use all of the suggestions previous posters have mentioned and it definitely works.
I take painkillers 1 hour before ascent and descent, and I use the pinch the nostrils and blow method as i insert the ear plugs. Follow the ear plugs directions carefully.
I spent years experiencing excruciating pain when flying but no more thanks to the above methods.
