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.
