Barotrauma of the ear occurs when the eardrum becomes stretched and tense. It causes ear pain and dulled hearing. It is due to unequal pressures that develop either side of the eardrum. This most commonly occurs when descending to land in a plane and is also experienced by scuba divers. Find out more: /health/earache-ear-pain/barotrauma-of-the-ear
