Why do ears feel blocked after landind in a plane?
Answers:
As you were climbing to higher altitude, the pressure in your inner ears became greater than the outside air. Air passed out through your eustacian tubes (normally aided by chewing or swallowing) in order to equalize the pressure.
As you descended, the opposite happened. Unfortunately, air does not pass as easily through the eustacian tubes in the opposite direction; it often needs a little "push." The technique to accomplish this is called a valsalva procedure. Aviators are taught the procedure in aviation physiology training.
To perform the procedure, close your mouth and pinch your nostrils together. Try to force air out through your nose, but don't release the grip on your nostrils. The pressure instead will force air through your eustacian tubes and into your inner ear. If it isn't working, try tipping your head as you blow so that the blocked ear is pointed upward.

You need to equalize the pressure. The pressure in your inner ear is likely less than the ambient pressure. Try swallowing, or chewing some gum. If that doesn't work then go to this website where it explains in detail what has happened & how to relieve the pressure.

I'm a pilot so I face that frequently. I always take a big yawn before I enter the traffic pattern to land, it has never failed me
Peter B was right.
