Ok ...........if you don't mind looking stupid. A friend of mine and I were flying and he had a very bad head cold. The pressure change was causing his sinuses to hurt like hell. The stewardess gave him 2 plastic cups. Into each she placed one of those hot towels they give you on long flights (similar to ones in Chinese restaurants). He had to sit holding a cup over each ear. It worked a treat, however I needed medical treatment after laughing so much.

I pop my ears by doing the same as you coey - but I always swallow before I let go of my nose - it never fails to work for me.

Sometimes swallowing hard (or yawning) will do the trick.  Try some chewing gum to help you swallow a lot.
