Why do ear clog during altitude changes.

I’ve never understood to logistics of it, what happens to the eardrum during that time. Why (got me personally at least) is there more pain underwater than planes. I just don’t get it.

My left ear has been clogged for the last month since I got off a plane. So frustrating … went to an ENT was diagnosed with Eustachian Tube Dysfunction. Has air blown through my nose to change the pressure , but still doesn’t feel amazing. Tried chewing gum to get it to pop, those YouTube videos about massaging techniques. Nothing works 🤷‍♂️… and I’m getting married next week so might be half deaf during it haha
