Sleeping in an airplane is a common thing done by most travelers or maybe some passengers on the plane, but there is a message you need to look at very well. Never do this activity, ie sleep on take off and landing aircraft.

They, experts do believe this will result in less good. So according to medical experts who understand how the inner workings of the human ear cavity.

Of course there is a reason to support this, quoting the site detikTravel, today, because for some medical reason why sleep when the plane take off and landing is not recommended, it turns out there are adverse effects that can result in the sense of hearing.

You certainly feel a different situation when the plane will air, citing the Express website, the water pressure inside the cabin changes drastically following the altitude. Especially in the human body situation is not ready to acclimatise, it can damage the eardrum, says British pharmacist Angela Chalmers.

"Rapid alteration can lead to air pressure in the ear, which can impact air vacancies in the Eustachian tract that can make deaf ears."

You may think this is trivial, but according to the health website MedlinePlus by the US National Library of Medicine revealed, if deaf ears can cause other health issues. Say some things can happen, such as dizziness, ear infections, ear drum damage, nosebleeds to hearing loss.

Angela Chalmers also suggested that the traveler does not sleep when the plane take off and landing, because at that moment the ear most often experience deafness, due to lack of air.

"Try not to sleep during take off, because it can cause the ears to feel deaf."

Indeed there are ways that are often done by the passengers of the plane, such as yawning or swallowing saliva, because in such a simple way, passengers and the traveler has given air in the channel in the ear.

MedlinePlus then gives a little description of it, "Swallowing saliva or yawning will open the Eustachian channel and drain air into the middle ear, which helps to adjust the air pressure on the other side of the eardrum."

Even according to them there are other ways that can be done, such as drinking water or chewing gum can prevent ears from deafness when flying.

In that case, travel in the air are still going on... Happy Traveling!
