Many people have this sensation when they're on airplanes, and some will even feel it if they quickly climb a mountain in a vehicle.

Hearing Loss Though there are about 4,000 new cases of sudden hearing loss a year, doctors figure out the cause only 10% to 15% of the time. Illnesses such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes put ears at risk by interfering with the ears' blood supply. Otosclerosis is a bone disease of the middle ear, and Ménière's disease affects the inner ear. Both can cause hearing loss.

""" Why am I feeling pressure in my ears? """ It sounds like you are experiencing some eustachian tube dysfunction. Briefly, the eustachian tubes are small tubes that connect the inside of the ear behind the ear drum to the back of the throat. These tubes work by equalizing pressure between the throat and the space behind the ear drum. When the eustachian tubes become swollen or inflamed, the pressure does not equalize easily, leading to this sensation of fluid, pressure, or pain in the ears. There are many causes of eustachian tube dysfunction. It commonly occurs in the setting of a viral infection, such as a sore throat or a cold virus infection.

Therefore, this is the reason that changes in air pressure can have the effect of causing a popping in the ears.

TINNITUS Pulsatile tinnitus is usually due to a small blood vessel that is coupled by fluid to your ear drum. It is usually nothing serious and also untreatable. Rarely pulsatile tinnitus can be caused by more serious problems -- aneurysms, increased pressure in the head (hydrocephalus), and hardening of the arteries. A vascular tumor such as a glomus may fill the middle ear, or a vein similar to a varicose vein may make enough noise to be heard.

Blocked Eustachian Tubes - Topic Overview This leads to pressure changes. Fluid may collect in the middle ear. The pressure and fluid can cause pain. You also can have ear pain from changes in pressure while you are flying in an airplane, driving up or down mountains, or scuba diving. Fluid in the ear can lead to an infection (acute otitis media). Young children have a high risk of ear infections, because their eustachian tubes are shorter and more easily blocked than the tubes in older children and adults.
