追加: 2026-05-24

[00:00:00]When you board a plane, your ears pop because of the sudden change in air pressure.

[00:00:05]The Eustachian tube helps regulate air pressure in your ears, but it's not always perfect.

[00:00:12]When you fly, your body tries to equalize the air pressure by swallowing or yawning.

[00:00:18]Your body adapts to flight by changing your Eustachian tube's sensitivity.

[00:00:24]By the end of the flight, your ears should be able to equalize air pressure again.
