Other people i.e. my family just go 'pop' and are fine.

It's bad sinuses that cause it. Try and be healthy before you fly - i.e. no cold or anything. That ought to help. Just try to keep on equalising the whole descent, which starts when the seatbelt light comes on, not when the captain says about 20 mins later

Join the mile high club. It'll take your mind off things. Just not with the captain as he'll be trying to land the plane

The one thing that works is.........
Making yourself yawn, and its safe too.
Blowing the pressure out can burst the ear drum.
If you sit there with an open mouth (i.e jaw on full lock) you will make yourself yawn.
If anyone reads this and does not try it at their desk i will be surprised.
