While travelling in an aircraft, why our ears start paining once the aircraft reaches high ground level?

Answer 1

it is because when you go higher,the pressure increases.the pressure causes air to push into open spaces,such as our ears.this is why we can feel this uncomfortable feelling.however,for comfort's sake,you can push out the pressure.you simply pinch your nose,close your mouth, and gently blow onto your nose (remember to keep your mouth closed).or simply yawn..it's really no big deal,scuba divers like us also feel pressure when we go deeper.and it works all the time! well,except when you have a cold or something..i hope i helped you,dear! :)

Answer 2

once the aircraft reaches 8,000 feet - that is about the maximum altitude that will be felt in the cabin -

the air pressure is lower - and so your ears will have to adjust
to that lower pressure -

how you can help -

yawn - open up so the tubes can clear the pressure
chew gum - does the same thing - not as quickly

last resort - hold your nose - and blow to pressurize your head
until your ears 'pop'

and you may have to do this on the way down - or after you land

have a great flight!

Answer 3

Your hearing works because of a very thin skin that is stretched over the tunnel that is your ear cannal, when vibrations occur in the air it strikes this skin, sending the vibrations through nerve impulses to the brain. For this to work, the skin must cover the entire ear cannal.

However, when presure changes occur very suddenly, such as when you are on an airplane, the air behind the ear cannal does not have time to make its gradual equalization with the air on the other side. This is usually done through the ustation tube which connects the other side of your eardrum to your throat, however it is not designed to handle sudden changes in presure, as they do not occur naturally, so it cannot equalize fast enough when you are on an airplane... so.... it hurts.

Answer 4

The Cabin is pressurizzed becasue the air at 30k ft is much thinner than the air at sea level

Answer 5

It is due to the pressure exerted.
