Does flying on a plane make tinnitus worse?


Does flying on a plane make tinnitus worse? Changes in the air pressure during the flight may be uncomfortable and worsen the pain related with tinnitus. A simple trick to relieving this uncomfortable feeling is by yawning or swallowing.


Where is the best place to sit on a plane for ears?

Sit away from the engine.
Seats in the front rows are farthest away from the engine and therefore better for your hearing. However, if you have to sit farther back in the plane, choose an aisle seat as they are several decibels quieter than window seats.
