Has anyone found a foolproof method to making sure their ears don’t kill during and after flights. I travel frequently for work and I am always miserable for days after. I have tried all kinds of earplugs and currently use the military grade earplanes but those sometimes don’t work for me. I jam them so far in my ears that they touch my brain. Anyone else have this problem or any solutions? I’m tired of losing hearing and having pain for days. I also chew gum like crazy and it hurts my jaw so badly by the rate I chew to attempt to swallow more. The method afterwards of plugging my nose to unclog does not help.

For anyone one wondering I am 27F 5’0 155lbs and was a heavy pen smoker nightly for 7 years. It took 28 days of no THC to start having faint negative lines on an at home hypersensitive urine test. I went for the official 10 panel 58 days clear. Sharing in case anyone else is similar height and weight. I did not drink anymore water than usual or change anything with my lifestyle.
