Talk to Ent Specialist on Ear Pain While Travelling By Air
Asking For Self, Male, 30 years old, Peshawar cantt
I experience a lot of pain in my right ear whenever I travel by air. This is usually the case when the airplane is descending. I think I have some hearing loss in this ear as well. And this ear also produces a lot more ear wax as compared to the left ear. Is there a remedy for this problem?
Answer:
First during air travel u can do chew chewing gum n repeated swallow of saliva that will help eustachian tube to remain open while descend. Never try to sleep during takeoff n descend.
Secondly for hearing loss u need evaluation as cant say anything without examination of ears n history.
Ascend n decend causes pressure changes.. So, to equalize these changes u must swallow repeatedly with nose pinched or eat/drink something or chew gums. But u need to consult a doctor for hearing loss and he may prescribe drugs for a week or so.

Yes there is remedy. Visit ENT Specialist. Get drips for ear wax. Check hearing level by PTA Tympanometry test. Use bubble gum while descending in air.

Is pain during air travel an indicator of damage to the ear or is it a normal thing to experience?
