Have you ever been on a flight and while the plane is taking
descending, you hear the blood-curdling scream of an infant two rows
behind you? It may have been due to air pressure in the ears, which
affects infant ears much more than it does adults. According to Yahoo
pediatric expert Dr. Green, the landing is always harder on infant ears
than take-off. This is because during take-off the ears tend to adjust
spontaneously, while during landing, the rising pressure can cause pain
and the adjustment doesn't occur spontaneously, but requires the
motions of yawning, swallowing, or crying. Rather than letting your infant
work out the air pressure changes alone, you can alleviate the
problem.
