A member asked:
After a couple of 7 hr flights from hot climate have a hissing noise from ears especially at night time when in bed any treatment suggestions please?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The hissing: is called tinnitus and it is a common result of high altitude flying and the effect of air pressure changes on the inner ear hearing "system" (which also helps us with balance) Try chewing gum during take off and landings! Hope this helps! Dr Z
