Hi,

i have problems with ear pain while flying.

Almost every time i fly, my ears hurt really bad, my hearing gets worse and i feel like my eardrum will burst.

i have deviated septum and my nose is most of the time plugged, i had so many synus infections i cant even count them all.

2 months ago i was flying with connected flight with a bad cold. on the first plane my ears really hurt but the second one was something else. i had so much pain i started crying + i could not hear anything for 2 days.

I tried decongestants, steaming my face, vaslasur manuever (idk exact name but you pinch your nose and blow - which u cant do anymore because of some eyes problem), chewing gum, drinking water, yawning, blowing nose.. i have no idea what to do anymore.

in the next 4 weeks i will have 6 flights. i an scared to death to go on it.

can anyone give me any advice as what i could do?

thank you!
