Question

During a recent flight, you had trouble with your ears as the plane was taking off and landing. You felt very uneasy and found that you could not hear as well until your ears "popped." You asked your doctor about it when you visited him for a checkup. What would he tell you?

Answer 1

Answer:

Your auditory tube became plugged during the flight and the discomfort occurred because a closed auditory tube will not allow pressures on either side of the eardrum to equilibrate.
