The eustachian tube is responsible for pressure equalization, and is normally closed...but if you have ever flown and felt that pressure build, you know you do need to "pop" your ears on occasion. Yawning or swallowing can work, but you can also try Chewing Gum -- doing those things while taking a deep breath can help too.

The Eustachian tube, nowadays known as the pharyngotympanic tube. THis structure connect the middle ear to the oropharnx allowing the air from outside into the inner ear, equalizing pressure and so reducung stress on the tympanic membrane. The tube is only open when the person is swallowing and this is why chewing gums on descending and ascending planes helps ears to "pop"
