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.

as you move either up or down; the pressure changes……either more stuff pushing in/down on your or less stuff.

your ear drums should naturally self correct; by kinda pushing out or in (like a bowl or upside down bowl) allowing them to function as usual.

if you ears drums dont react to the change in pressure they can not operate as usual and noises become muffled and can feel “blocked”
