A few comments...
1) I can't imagine that wearing IEMs would affect whether your ears pop, or not.
2) Many here have suggested chewing gum or swallowing -- to unpop my ears, I force myself to yawn. It's actually easy to get yourself to yawn. In fact, just thinking about yawning will get some people to yawn. Yawn. (did that get anybody to yawn?)
3) I was recently on a plane, and I had my IEMs plugged into the armrest -- it was at a reasonable volume for the video playing on the back of the seat in front of me -- but when the pilot made an announcement, the volume was then at super-max, and it nearly blew a hole through my head. That sucked, anybody else experience that?
4) Speaking of pressure on a plane, try this: when you're up at cruising altitude, finish a bottle of water, and then (with the bottle empty) screw the cap back on, nice and tight. Leave it alone, and take a look again after you land -- it'll be totally crushed.
