Persisting Clogging, Crackling In Ears After A Week Of Skydiving. What Could Be The Cause?
I went skydiving for the first time on Saturday. My ears still feel clogged and are crackling like they haven t popped afterwards. They re always very sensitive while flying but it usually resolves within a day or two. I can hear fine and other than the usual popping from flights I ve never had any ear issues. I m 27 years old, normal weight, no health problems.

hello
this problem occurs because of pressure difference between atmosphere and middle ear which occurs during these events.It occurs more if someone is suffering from common cold . To get relief you should use chewing gum and some decongestant medication.
