I fly pressurised 4/5 times a year and invariably I get pressure problems in the lug-holes, usually it lasts but a day or so, but when coming in to land it travels from one ear to the other sometimes popping (which is a relief) other times not. sometimes the pain has been so acute I have had blurred vision, a feeling of balance loss (not due to the in-flight drinkies!) and my eyes have watered from the pain. I am keen to fly, but this state worries me. I have has syringing but after a couple of days I feel waxed up again. It is a real pain and is also noticable if I drive up a steep hill, the Doctors have stuck things in my ear to no avail. even now the darn thing is cracking and popping.
