Ear Ringing When Flying
Explaining the Causes:
Inner Ear Structure
When sitting on an airplane, there is a pressure difference between the outside and inside of the ear. As explained by Vnexpress, the Eustachian tube inside the ear may close or be compressed, causing pressure in the ear and an imbalance. The air inside the ear is sucked and pulls the eardrum inward, causing ear ringing and pain. In severe cases, when the Eustachian tube remains closed for too long after several days, passengers may experience dizziness and hearing impairment.
Effective Solutions for Ear Ringing
Using nasal decongestants
Using nasal decongestants
According to various oral traditions across many forums, using nasal decongestants in pill, spray, or syrup form half an hour before takeoff can reduce ear ringing and pain. However, this method has not been endorsed by doctors, and it is also advised not to overuse this approach.
Swallow
Chew Gum (Stimulate Saliva Swallowing)
When the airplane takes off, your ears may feel plugged and painful, causing discomfort. The simplest and most natural remedy is to swallow. Swallowing helps to open the Eustachian tube. However, swallowing once may not immediately relieve the ear pressure; you need to do it continuously. Therefore, it is advisable to suck on candy or chew gum (to stimulate saliva swallowing) while sitting on the airplane.
Frenzel Maneuver Method
Frenzer Maneuver Method
The name may sound strange, but this method is simple: pinch your nose shut, inhale air into your mouth, puff up your cheeks, then use your tongue to push the air in your mouth back into your throat. This action also helps to open the Eustachian tube, reducing pain and ear pressure.
