If you are already using the Valsalva maneuver and your ears aren't equalizing, you should make sure you aren't sick and probably go to a doctor to get cleared for diving.
Ears "pop" when there is a change in pressure. It is the bodys way to prevent discomfort from pressure changes.

As with eyeglasses, if too-tight fitting, they can cause physical discomfort.
Large or protruding ears appear to be equally common in males and females; however, it is easier for girls and women to avoid social discomfort by styling their hair to cover their ears.

Babies cannot express their discomfort except by crying out, but many times they are experiencing cabin pressure changes which can give them serious ear pain. Their eustachion tubes are not fully developed, and they tend to be "colicky" which can congest their ear passages and pharynx. The middle ear can present serious pain to the baby when the cabin presure is changing. For this reason, you should give the baby a bottle (water, formula, or juice), especially when ascending or descending. This is almost equivalent to adults chewing gum or popping your ears. This may alleviate some of the baby's discomfort.
because if we do not care your ears your ears will be dirty
use Claire's (from experience)
should i be worried about this bump at the corner of my right ears?
as long as you get no die in your ears you will be fine(:
Because as you dive down your eardrum is being stretched by the external pressure. If, when you first feel the discomfort, you hold your nose and blow out your ears, the pain will go way as you will then have equalized the pressures across the eardrum. SCUBA divers have to learn how to do this.
Why not, Sophie needs some bling in her ears any way.
