Why does the air pressure in the airplane affect our ears and cause pain?
This happens on every plane flight. This is basically because our ears, are SO used to the regular air pressure down back on Earth, that they aren’t used to constantly changing pressures. The hurting you feel in your ears is that your body is adjusting to the pressure. Pilots are always in the air, so they are used to the air pressure above Earth, so their ears don’t hurt. Did you know that some pilots are on the air so much that when they land back down, they aren’t used to Earth’s pressure, and have ear pain back home? If the pain really troubles you, then I suggest you chew gum during the pat when it hurts, or close your ears tightly. Hope I helped!
