Abstract: The construction of a $p$-adic height pairing for a geometric $p$-adic representation of the absolute Galois group of a number field depends on a global $p$-adic logarithm and on local splittings of the Hodge filtrations at the primes above $p$. We study the dependence on these splittings for suitable two-dimensional symplectic self-dual representations, including self-dual twists of representations attached to even-weight newforms at non-ordinary primes not dividing the level. We express the difference between the height pairings associated with the two splittings determined by Frobenius explicitly in terms of local Bloch--Kato logarithms. As an application over $\mathbb{Q}$, we prove that at least one of the two cyclotomic $p$-adic height pairings is non-trivial under the additional assumptions that the Frobenius eigenvalues at $p$ are distinct and the localization map at $p$ from the Bloch--Kato Selmer group is non-zero.
