Ear blockage in the plane.. A nurse reveals a "smart trick"

Some passengers on planes feel a blockage in the ear accompanied by a feeling of pressure, especially if the flight is long, which causes them discomfort and anxiety.

Experts say that the blockage of the ears is due to the change in air pressure inside the plane, and thus causes a difference in pressure between the middle and outer ear.

This difference in pressure causes an "annoying buzzing" in the middle ear, known as barotrauma.

And the British newspaper “Daily Mail” stated that a nurse who publishes educational videos on the TikTok platform revealed a “smart trick” to overcome the problem of clogged ears, especially during takeoff and landing.
