Flying
You also may want to take a decongestant an hour before flying and chew gum.
I had problems with my eardrums bursting everytime I flew and that was how I
managed it. (Recommended my an ENT Specialist.)

This is standard technique for scuba divers to equalize pressure in their
ears when descending into INCREASING pressures. When ascending into
DECREASING pressure - also mountains and airplanes - - reverse the procedure
by holding the nose and INHALING to reduce the pressure in the middle ear.
