best way to equlize

[sum-yung guy]

There is no right way to equalize and it will differ from person to person. The old standard is pinching your nose and gently blowing into it until the pressure equalizes. You can also do this in combination with wiggling your jaw side to side and/or swallowing. The key is to do this in combination to help your eustachian tubes that run behind your ears to change in pressure or move any blockage through them.

Personally, I pinch my nose to clear my ears, and depending on the mask that I am wearing, only need to blow into my nose to clear my ears from the seal that is created on my nose from the skirt on my mask (great when working with students).

Try all of these for best success...Good luck.....
