Most people have experienced barotrauma to the ears and probably don’t even know it.
It might sound serious, but it’s a common, usually harmless, everyday occurrence.
If you’ve ever wondered how to ‘pop’ your ears or how to stop your ears from ‘popping’, then you’ll certainly be familiar with barotrauma.
Ear barotrauma is the medical term for damage to ear tissues caused by the difference between the air pressure inside your ears and the air pressure around you. It causes your hearing to dip out or become muffled and your ears to feel clogged up.
