How does skydiving affect ear pressure?

Updated: 9/28/2023
The higher you are, the faster your freefall speed is. Your speed slows down as you reach denser air.
The aircraft also climbs faster when the air is colder and therefore at a lower pressure.
If you have blocked ears (i.e. because you have a cold), you can get pain in them as it is hard for you to equalise.
In terms of mental pressure, e.g. in a competition, pressure can make you give a bad performance when being judged.
