onwards and upwards
I have a sinus condition that makes it hard (sometimes impossible) to clear my ears when the air pressure changes. I spend a fair bit of time on airplanes, but I've always found it uncomfortable, and I need to concentrate and put some deliberate effort in if I want to get my ears to pop (and I've damaged an eardrum before on a descent where I couldn't respond to a pressure change). Would I ever be able to skydive? I don't have a good idea of how much more dramatic of a pressure change it is than going down in an airplane, or a fast elevator.
