What is normal eustachian tube function?
One of my ears pops all by itself but the other ear never equalises on its own. This means I have to constantly swallow during descent to equalise the pressure and every so often (around 1 in 20 descents) this does not work and I have to resort to the valsalva manoeuvre to equalise the pressure.
At the end of a 4 sector day my jaw is sore from swallowing so much in the descent.
What is normal eustachian tube function? Should both ears equalise on their own most of the time?
