Chewing gum is a common method of causing the pressure in your ears to equalize after being exposed to high elevations.
The Eustachian tube equalizes air pressure in the ears
Chew gum or suck on a breath mint. When you swallow it will help equalize the pressure changes in your ears and get rid of the "bubbles".
Swallowing helps to equalize the air pressure ( popping ) in your ears.
During a tornado, changes in air pressure can cause your ears to "pop." This happens as your Eustachian tubes try to equalize the pressure inside your ears with the changing external pressure.
No. If you can't get your ears to pop, eg during altitude changes when you are flying, then chewing gum can help your ears to pop and relieve pressure. Otherwise, chewing gum is in no way good or bad for your ears.
The job of equalizing pressure within the ears is to prevent discomfort or pain caused by changes in air pressure, such as during take-off and landing in an airplane or while scuba diving. This is typically done by opening the Eustachian tubes, which connect the middle ear to the back of the throat, allowing air to pass through and equalize pressure on both sides of the eardrum.
Equalize was created in 2006.
No, the eustachian canals of the ears do not connect directly with each other. Each eustachian tube connects the middle ear to the back of the throat and serves to equalize air pressure on either side of the eardrum.
There are one-atmosphere suits that do this (the JIM suit was one), but they aren't in the realm of sport diving, either in training or price. If you can't possibly equalize your ears, you're not going to be able to dive. [[User:Cjonb|Cjonb]] 22:37, 2 Jun 2008 (UTC)
A healthy person cannot breathe through their ears. However, someone who has a busted ear drum can actually have air flow through their Eustachian tube, a small tube between the nasal cavity and the inside side of the eardrum, which is used to equalize the pressure on both sides of the ear drum to prevent it from blowing out.
PE tube insertion is a surgery to place tubes in the eardrums to equalize the pressure on either side of the tympanic membrane. It's commonly called "tubes in the ears" in lay language.
