I too suffer from the most horrendous ear pain in one of my ears on landing. I have found nothing really helps but others swear by taking anti-histamines. I have tried the flite mate plugs and they dont work. I have had some relief from holding a cup which holds tissues soaked in hot water against my ear (obviously you need to tilt your head slightly against the cup for this otherwise you will burn your ears!). You do this in conjunction with inhaling through your nose those eucalyptus/menthol sachets you can get from the flight attendants if you explain your problem. You should speak to your Doctor and see what he suggests. It sounds like they need gromets.
