Ear Barotrauma
Ear barotrauma is discomfort or injury caused by sudden changes in pressure, such as those that occur when flying, diving, or going up a mountain, when the ear cannot equalize the pressure on both sides of the eardrum.
How it shows up: A feeling of clogged ears, pain, pressure, temporary decreased hearing, and, at times, ringing or dizziness.
When to seek care? It is worth getting evaluated when the discomfort does not ease after the change in pressure, the pain is intense, or hearing does not return.
Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist examines the ear and guides management according to the case. If ear discomfort persists after a flight or a dive, the recommended step is to have it reviewed by a health professional.
