Several ways to say goodbye to tinnitus and ear pain when flying

Many friends often encounter a problem when traveling by plane, that is, tinnitus. As the cabin air pressure decreases/increases accordingly due to external influences, a pressure difference is generated inside and outside the eardrum, compressing the eardrum and causing tinnitus. This is a normal phenomenon. There is no need to panic. You can prevent it by the following methods.

1: Many people think that tinnitus is a disease. However, I would like to clarify here that tinnitus is actually just a symptom. Because tinnitus is the sound people hear subjectively, it is of course based on the condition that there is no external stimulation. It is worth noting that tinnitus is an illusion occurring in the auditory system. It is a symptom rather than a disease.

2: Some people often feel some special sounds in their ears, such as buzzing, hissing or sharp whistling, but they cannot find the corresponding sound source around. This situation is called tinnitus. Tinnitus makes people upset and restless, and in severe cases it can affect their normal life and work. It is common to feel discomfort in the ears when an airplane takes off or descends. This is because the cabin pressure will inevitably be affected by external factors and decrease/increase accordingly, causing a pressure difference inside and outside the eardrum, which compresses the eardrum and causes tinnitus. This is why flying is the cause of tinnitus.

1: Chewing. People who travel frequently are familiar with this. Generally speaking, some candies will be prepared for passengers on the flight to avoid tinnitus. Gently chewing a few pieces of candy or gum can help open the Eustachian tube and reduce tinnitus.

2: For passengers with more severe tinnitus symptoms, they can also go to the hospital in advance to get medicine that helps constrict blood vessels. Before the plane lands, the medicine can be dripped into the nasal cavity to dilate the Eustachian tube and relieve discomfort.

3: Wear airplane earplugs. The airplane is equipped with special earplugs, which can not only automatically adjust the air pressure in the ear and reduce the impact of the cabin air pressure on the eardrum, but also allow people to enjoy a quiet flight journey.

4: It should be emphasized that if you have a cold or severe nasal congestion, it is best not to take an airplane, because although wearing airplane earplugs can reduce the pain of tinnitus, it cannot be completely avoided.

You may always experience tinnitus. Airplanes themselves generate noise when flying, and some air currents at high altitudes often cause tinnitus.
