Just flew a 3 hour flight , nonstop to Fla last Wednesday . Within the last 30 minutes of the flight , the pilot decided to descend way to fast for about a minute or 2 ( so it seemed ).
Holy fkn she-it balls. Pain. Crazy-stupid inner ear pain. Like passengers bitching about not wanting to pay for their ticket , people holding their ears - in every row throughout the plane. I looked in the row behind me to see if my wife and 15 year old were ok and he was covering both ears , with tears in his eyes.
So , 2 trips to a doctor later , with my left ear plugged for 6 days straight , with pressure still , and with an apparent sinus bug I picked up during the trip , - I’m going to a specialist Friday morning to have a hole Lasered thru my eardrum , to prevent it from bursting during the flight home on Sunday. Lol. Happy Vacation right ?
I’m aware of the ear pressure situation , from flying in the past , but NEVER did I experience , nor did I expect this !
I’m not exactly crazy about the laser hole that’s coming. Like all of you , I’m pretty fond of my hearing. ( In both ears ).
Just wanted to share for those of you that fly - be forewarned.
I picked up some ear plugs for the ride home. Fingers crossed.
