    When the plane lands, the speed of the plane rubs against the air, and the sound of the plane landing increases, and the sound that travels reaches the ear, and you feel the stinging.

    This is caused by an imbalance in the pressure of the eustachian tube. It's best to do mouth-opening exercises when the plane is rising or landing to keep the pressure inside and outside the Eustachian tube equal, which is why chewing gum is recommended on airplanes.

    Have you ever experienced pain or discomfort in your ears during take-off or landing? This may be the barometric otitis that bothers many people when they fly.

    This is because when the plane lands, it changes from low pressure at high altitude to high pressure at low altitude, and when the plane descends sharply, a relative negative pressure will form in the middle and cause the eardrum to collapse, and the friction with the air will increase during low-altitude flight, resulting in loud noise, so it will cause ear pain.

    Because the air pressure of the plane is very large during take-off and landing, the ears cannot withstand this air pressure at this time, so there will be a feeling of bloating pain.

    Because of the pressure, the take-off and landing of the plane will cause huge pressure, which has an impact on the ears.

    Ear pain when flying is because the air pressure inside and outside is different. It is the difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the cabin, which directly leads to the difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the body version during flight.

    right in the process, because the pressure of the aircraft is maintained at 8,000 feet. The sensation of pain is also often worse when it goes down than when it rises. When it falls, the pressure inside the body is less than the pressure outside.

    The eardrum is bulging inwards and tends to be more uncomfortable. However, most of them will not be a major problem.

    There is a way: it is relatively mild, you can swallow your saliva and open your mouth wide.

    In severe cases, pinch your nose, close your mouth, and pour breath into your mouth (this method is more effective).

    By the way, if it's a cold, the pain is worse than usual! So, you have to be more careful when you have a cold and do a plane.

    Jail gum will be relieved, but it doesn't seem to be good! The specific reason has not been verified! Remind the fish to be vigilant when using this method!

    Also: Don't cover your ears when it hurts, and then let go after your plane is completely landed, at this time the pressure difference is greater, you think about the consequences!

    Yawn. The kind of yawn that stretches your back. Open your mouth wide and yawn very pleasantly. To really yawn, not the kind of yawning that just opens your mouth and makes a look.

    When the plane descends, the air pressure changes, and the Eustachian tube closes, causing the air pressure inside and outside the ear to be inconsistent, and the phenomenon of earache occurs! The easiest way to do this is to chew gum or swallow to promote muscle movement, so that the eustachian tube is open, and the air pressure inside and outside the ear is consistent, so as to avoid ear pain!

    Discomfort or pain in the ears during a flight is caused by an imbalance in the air pressure inside and outside the middle ear. Some pilots and flight attendants suffer from "aviation otitis media", which is caused by long-term flying. The middle ear and the external auditory canal are closed by the tympanic membrane, the middle ear chamber communicates with the pharynx through the eustachian tube, and the pressure of the air in the middle ear is balanced by the eustachian tube and atmospheric pressure.

    The eustachian tube itself is not very smooth, usually it is only a potential tube, and when suffering from colds, pharyngitis and other diseases, or when there is inflammation and edema in the nasopharynx, the eustachian tube is even less smooth. When the plane rises, the ambient atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude, the pressure inside the middle ear is relatively high, and the tympanic membrane expands to the external auditory canal, so it will cause discomfort and pain, until the plane flies at a certain altitude, the gas in the middle ear is partially expelled through the eustachian tube, and the discomfort and pain will disappear after the pressure in the middle ear is balanced with the outside world. When the plane lands, the internal and external pressure is reversed imbalanced, the pressure outside is high, the pressure in the middle ear is low, the tympanic membrane is pressed to the middle ear, and the tympanic membrane is depressed, which will also cause discomfort and pain, until the air enters the middle ear through the eustachian tube a little, and the internal and external pressure reaches a balance, and the symptoms will disappear.

    Some methods can be more effective in reducing ear discomfort during take-off and landing, such as swallowing, exercising the soft palate, moving the jaw, pinching the nose and inhaling (when the aircraft is ascending) and puffing (when descending), etc., to promote the opening and patency of the eustachian tube, so as to balance the air pressure inside and outside the middle ear as soon as possible.

    In normal people, the middle ear cavity (also known as the tympanic chamber) and the external auditory canal are closed by the eardrum, and the middle ear and the pharynx are communicated by a eustachian tube (also called the eustachian tube). The pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube has a flap that opens toward the pharynx and opens once with each swallowing motion. The air pressure in the middle ear cavity is balanced by the continuous opening of the eustachian tube to the atmospheric pressure of the outer body.

    There is a gap between the atmospheric pressure on the ground and the atmospheric pressure at high altitude, and the atmospheric pressure gradually decreases as the flight altitude of the aircraft increases. Because the pressure in the middle ear cavity of the human person is still the pressure when the ground is maintained, so it is gradually higher than the atmospheric pressure at high altitude, at this time, the air in the middle ear cavity will diffuse to the outside of the body through the eustachian tube, at this time, if the function of the human eustachian tube is normal, through the swallowing action, (because the flap of the nozzle is open outward, so the resistance of the air to diffuse outward is very small,) quickly make the middle ear pressure and the pressure outside the body balance. So when the plane goes up, the reaction of the human ear is relatively slight.

    When the aircraft reaches a certain altitude and no longer rises, the pressure in the middle ear cavity and the external pressure gradually reach a balance (the balance of the low-pressure state in the high-altitude environment), and the human feeling is relatively better at this time. But when the plane descends, the ratio of pressure in the middle ear cavity to the outside changes again. As the aircraft descends rapidly, the air pressure in the external environment rises rapidly, and it is also rapidly higher than the pressure in the middle and lower cavity, and the air will spread into the middle ear cavity to achieve pressure balance.

    However, because the valve of the pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube is open outward, the higher the pressure outside the body, the greater the pressure on the valve, and the more difficult it is for the valve to open, especially for people with poor Eustachian tube function, the heavier the reaction, the greater the negative pressure in the middle ear cavity, the tympanic membrane is invaginated, hearing loss, stuffiness, and I feel that I speak very loudly (called self-hearing). If the disease progresses further, histopathological changes will occur in the middle ear, capillary congestion and increased exudate, which is the basis for the pathological changes of aviation otitis media. People with normal Eustachian tube function will soon regain their hearing after getting off the plane, while people with pathological changes in the middle ear will have symptoms that last for a long time.

    If the symptoms are severe, antimicrobial tissue edema drugs such as fexofenadine, dexamethasone, etc., and ephedrine nasal drops can be used like catarrhal otitis media. It can also be done to pinch the nose and puff up, tympanic membrane massage (that is, use the finger to press the tragus towards the ear canal of the outer ear, loosen and tighten) to promote the recovery of the tympanic membrane.

    Hello: Why do my ears hurt when the plane takes off?

    Because the internal and external air pressure and pressure are different, the ear will hurt, and you can chew gum to increase chewing, so that the pressure inside and outside the ear is balanced, and the symptoms of ear pain can be relieved.

First of all, it is stated that the plane flies in the atmosphere and definitely generates heat. There is no supersonic speed in active civil aircraft, so the heat is very low, and even when flying at high altitudes, there will be ice on the wings. The heat generated by a supersonic fighter is not negligible, especially when the speed is higher than 300 degrees Celsius, but it does not burn out. >>>More
