You can equalize the pressure in your ears by yawning or swallowing. Many people say to chew gum because it promotes swallowing. That little pop in your ears when you swallow or yawn is basically relaxing the right combination of muscles to allow the pressures to equalize. Fun fact: That little pop does something to connect your ear canal to your mouth. If you can hold that state, you can put a speaker in your mouth and it will sound just like you are wearing headphones. For me it works great in my right ear and only OK in my left ear.

Swallow and yawn. Not actually yawn but do the thing when you open your mouth to yawn but stop after that first step.

Well after my skull solidified when I turned 2 it stopped hurting. But serious answer: while taking off and landing, chew gum, pretend to yawn, move your jaw around, anything to make your ears pop a little. I really don't feel pain anymore because it's just a pressure difference, and if you manage the pressure by popping your ears, it shouldn't hurt at all

I don't fly regularly, but chewing gum helps. Also, there's a few pressure changes on the London Underground that can cause your ears to pop, and yawning helps to fix that. Same goes for planes.

Blow air across the inside of my ear drums by going through the actions of breathing out, but not letting the air escape my mouth or nose.

Make sure you have clear sinus canals before the flight. I skydive so opening my mouth like I'm yawning or a big swallow every couple thousand feet does the trick. Chewing gum works if you're into that. All you're doing is equalizing the pressure. The pain is due to a build up. If you do one of the above kinda often during accent and decent you'll minimize discomfort

Eat spicy food prior. Spicy food helps clear sinuses. It also reduces inflammation. Along with the whole chew gum suck on candy yawn plug nose and blow etc stuff.

Learn how to equalize your sinuses on descent. It's the same action Dacian divers perform to equalize to the increased pressure underwater The basic idea is you plug your nose and try to gently blow out. If you do it right, you should feel your ears pop a little. This is air passing through your eustachian tubes into your inner ear,which is what is needed to balance the increasing cabin pressure during descent You don't have to do this on ascent because your inner ears usually depressurize naturally with no manual assistance.
