If you experienced ear pain during the landing of an airplane, it is possible that your eardrum could be damaged. In the event of a perforated eardrum, you may experience total hearing loss in that ear. It is common for travelers to experience ear pain during takeoff or landing due to changes in pressure. To prevent this type of discomfort, you can try chewing gum, yawning, sucking on a throat lozenge, drinking liquids, or using the Valsalva maneuver, which involves pinching your nose and gently exhaling with your mouth closed. If you want to ensure that your ear is intact, many pharmacies offer the services of a nurse who can examine your ear. You may inquire at your local pharmacy for more information.
