Airplane Ear – Causes and Evaluation

Causes of Airplane Ear

Airplane ear occurs when an airplane ascends or descends. It also occurs during explosions, scuba diving, or if you are hit or slapped on the ear.

Evaluation of Airplane Ear

Imbalance in air pressure in middle ear and air pressure in environment prevents normal vibration of tympanic membrane. A narrow passage, Eustachian tube, connects middle ear to the point where nasal cavity and top part of your throat meet. Eustachian tube does not react correspondingly or as fast as the changes in air pressure. This causes airplane ear. Yawning or swallowing activates muscles of Eustachian tube. This helps middle ear to replenish its air supply and thereby prevent occurrence of airplane ear.
