Re: "...a few months ago...cabin pressure loss"

How many passengers lost consciousness on your flight?

Probably zero - because I have not heard about your incident before.

Pierced eardrums after cabin pressure lost?

Your ears are connected to your throat via the Eustachian Tube.

In theory, air pressure on each side of your eardrums should balance instantly if your nose is not clogged, or if your mouth is slightly open.

Yeah l love making stuff up and posting it. Sudden hearing loss from rapid air pressure on flights is far more common than most people know as we found out. In rare cases you can get a torn ear drum. The ear specialist said he treats people every week for air travel related hearing problems. I couldn’t give a fig if YOU believe it. I’m telling others especially if you are older use earplane plugs if you want to play it safe.
