What Is Ear Barotrauma and How Can I Prevent It When Flying?
Ear barotrauma happens when pressure changes—like during takeoff or landing—damage the eardrum or middle ear.
Prevention Tips:
✅ Yawn, swallow, or chew gum during ascent/descent
✅ If with nasal congestion, you may use prescribed intranasal or oral decongestants.
✅ Try earplugs designed for flying
If you feel severe pain or hearing loss after a flight, consult your ENT.
