In a way it’s the same reason you get those when driving in mountainous or very hilly terrain. It’s just the change in pressure. The airplane takes you to the top of the mountain and then gives you pressurized air after that. When you land and you start coming down the mountain you come down fast and your ears can’t adjust.
