WHy do we get ear pain during aeroplane take off?
I travelled only few times in flight(excatly speaking, four times) and I experienced a severe ear pain during initial minutes of flight takeoff and got settled with it after 15-20 minutes or so. I experienced it thrice out of my four times.Is there any specific reason.Can someone explain?
If you are a frequent flyer or just fly occasionally it is quite common to get a sudden bout of ear pain, or even a temporary hearing loss on takeoff or landing. Many people have acute pain in their ears while flying. Some people even experience temporary hearing loss. This condition is called aerotitus and one third of all passengers will experience this ear pain at least once.
The causes of this ear pain are due to the rapid changes in air pressure in the cabin of the plane. The air pocket inside the middle ear expand during takeoff and landing and this stretches the eardrum. Air must enter and escape through the Eustachian tube in the ear to normalize the ear drum. The Eustachian tube sometimes has difficulty keeping up with the rapid changes in air pressure during takeoff and landing. The pain can be agonizing when the Eustachian tube can not adapt quickly enough.

there is fluid in your inner ear..so during pressure changes it can hurt....

because of the changes in the cabin pressure

The change in the pressure in the cabin. The aircraft cabin does pressurize as you travel to altitude but the change in pressure will cause ear pain for some people.

Change in air pressure makes your ear drum stretch in and out. Try to chew gum or pop your ears occasionally.

Pressure. To help relieve the pain try chewing gum or yawning.

It is the G forces from going higher up into the atmosphere. You are feeling pressure from the outside of the plane.
