Constant Pressure & Popping of Ears

Hello! I've been struggling with Long Haul since 2020, and there is one particular issue that I haven't heard anyone else talk about: a constant pressure and need to pop of their ears.

It's not a ringing in my ears but rather a pressure that's always there, and when I try to pop my ears, it doesn't give me the relief many would feel. I'm just wondering if anyone else has come across this issue and if there are any treatments?

It could be a muscular issue because if I push on my SCM muscle, it seems to "open up" my ears, and I don't feel the need to pop them. But overall just wondering if anyone else has dealt with this issue.

Thanks!
