You know? When you finally land. You get a pain(ear popping) that hurts when you finally yawn or something. How long does it take for that pain to go away after landing?
it doesnt just go away if you chew gum…chewing gum just helps relieve the pain.
some people take different times for their ears to finaly pop back in. Some peoples ears stop hurting after a few minutes on the ground, some people may experience the ache for another hour or so (but thats in extreme cases)
it can take longer periods for your ears to fully pop back in. once, I felt my ear pop back in after 3 days! (but i was on an 8 hour flight from australia to japan)
depends on who u are but your ears wont hurt if u chew gum

The first time I flew, I had horrific earaches for hours after landing.
Thankfully, someone told me about chewing gum; and ever since – I ALWAYS chew gum. The minute we start to descend, I pop a couple of pellets of gum into my mouth, and don’t stop chewing until the plane finally taxis to the terminal. I also use the ol’ "pinch your nose closed and gently blow air into your sinuses" (in order to pop my ears) during the descent. And I have never had any problems with my ears hurting ever since.

It’s different for different people. If you fly with a sinus infection(or you have sinus issues), your ears are going to hurt more. While chewing gum may help you, I find this to work better:
Plug your nose and hold your breath as if you are about to go under water, and "try" to blow air out your nose. If you are holding your breath and plugging your nose, you wont be able to blow air through, and the air has to go somewhere else….so it clears out your ears from the pressure.
Good luck!

flight attendant…use this method frequently
It depends on how long your ears take to equalize pressure. If the eustachian tube refuses to open, they could feel odd for several hours or more.
If your ears feel clear and have "popped," but they still hurt, there’s a change that they were hurt by a very large pressure difference. The most extreme cases can rupture an eardrum, but that’s extraordinarily rare, and it would be extremely painful when it happens (and painful afterwards until it healed), and it would be associated with a marked loss of hearing in the ear with the problem.
