This is because of a difference between the atmospheric pressure and the pressure inside your ear.

This pulls on your ear drum, which makes it feel like your ear is clogged.

When you chew, it opens a tube that connects your ear and throat, called the Eustacian tube.

If you are acquainted with Scuba diving techniques, you will know how to equalise the pressure in your ear.

If not, then it basically consists of holding your nose shut with one hand while blowing out.

However, you should be careful with this, as if done improperly it can be harmful.

Given this, I would not suggest that you try it without proper training.

For now, just chewing on anything, or swallowing a gulp of water will do the trick.

(sound familiar? This is the same thing as what happens when your ears pop at altitudes)
