If you travel much The Earpopper looks like something you’d want in your travel kit. As Healthy Concerns notes:

I fell asleep and neglected to wake up for the descent and go through the usual machinations to “pop” my ears. Immediately upon waking up as we landed I knew something felt a bit off.

had I been awake, and had I had the necessary prescription the EarPopper would have saved me all the trouble!
