A passenger reported that the passenger oxygen mask was problematic because the release pin needed a lot of force before the oxygen flow started. The passenger later added that he felt ear pain just prior to noticing the aircraft began an early but normal descent. The captain illuminated the fasten seat belt signs announcing they anticipated turbulence ahead, a short time later - after everybody got seated - the rate of descent increased to an emergency descent and the oxygen masks were released, the passengers mask however could not be activated until he pulled it down with his full body weight.
