Just had my first jump a few weeks ago and my ears hurt a lot. After a day or so I was back to normal. I have experienced this same feeling before when I have been outside in the winter, wind and cold really affect my ears and they can hust for hours. When we jumped out of the plane I could feel my ears cool off quickly and it hurt. It was about 50 degrees up there Has anyone had any experience or suggestions with earplugs that help buffer the wind and cold?
