re: Anybody experience inner ear problems related to flying?

Only bad experience I had with inner ear problems with flying was on a 3 hour flight. The whole flight, I was never able to get my ears to pop. I was chewing gum from start to finish and was also trying to pop them and nothing would help. Pressure got so bad I started getting dizzy with vision problems and also my hearing was reduced to maybe 20%. Once we landed, I was finally able to get them to pop but when they did, it hurt so bad. Wouldn't wish that on anyone.
