Love the thought bubbles in your video... nice job putting the visor back and carrying on with the skydive

I've done that a few times.
Can't really think of a reason why your ears would be hurting from not closing your visor. Were you jumping when your head was stuffed up or had some kind of a cold?

I am not sure why your ear problem would be caused by not putting down your visor.

The outside air pressure is not dependant on the visor being up or down I regularly jump without a full face and have no issues with my ears.

I dont know but as soon as the cold air hit my ears. I felt sharp aching pain in my ears. It subsided as I landed but then 1 day later its aching again.

When I ride my motorcycle on colder than average days the cold wind in my ears will give me an earache as I geneally don't wear a helmet. On the other hand I always wear a helmet while skydiving and it seems to protect my ears enough that I don't get earaches. Maybe try earplugs.

To add: I wear a bonehead Rat Hat which is a a full face helmet with no visor so I do get some wind through there but not enough to bother me. I also can get an earache just being out in a cold cold wind.

I may be getting old but I got to see all the cool bands.

My ears hurt inside like that just standing outside in the cold as well. I have to keep them shielded completely or suffer the pain quietly.

One theory: On certain helmets when the visor is upwards, the air deflects off the visor and into the helmet, increasing air pressure around your ear area because the wind is now blowing into your face...
