don't technically have to change height
it's due to pressure variation, which can occur to things such as a cold or head phones

How does flying an airplane affect hearing?
It doesn't exactly affect your hearing, it just makes your ears pop, because of all the pressure. The best thing to do is chew gum, or go to sleep!
Why do we experience pain in our ears as you go up in a high place?
The pain in our ears due to elevation change is caused by unequal pressure inside our bodies and the air pressure outside. As you go higher in elevation air pressure drops, so the pressure inside our bodies is higher that the outside environment. This high pressure inside our bodies causes pain as our bodies seek to regain equal air pressure with that of the environment by releasing air out of our ears; that is also why many people experience popping ears as they undergo dramatic elevation changes.
During a baseball game the batter hits a high pop-up directly over home plate. If the ball stays in the air for 6 seconds how high did the ball go?
176.4 meters
What is the loudness in decimals which causes immediate damage to the ears?
140 decibells cause damage to the ears permanently but from 90 it can damage your ears temporarily 140 deibells is as loud as a jackhammer If you are listening to your iPod and it's 40 decibels you can listen for up to 8 hours before it causes damage to your ears, if it's 80 you can listen for 15 minutes, (I think that's right anyway) and if it's 120 you can only listen for ten seconds before it causes permanent damage to your ears. If you are in a room and you need to shout to be heard by someone two metres away it is too loud and you need to go somewhere quiter.
Why does a bag of chips explode at 3000 meters high?
The airtight bag was sealed at a lower level. As you ascend, the air pressure becomes less outside, and the air in the bag expands. As it expands, the bag puffs up. Go too high, and the bag will pop. I have driven to the top of Mt Evans Colorado, and at 4350 meters the bag WILL pop!
Facts about the human ear?
When you go to high elevations your ears pop!
Your ears have a lot of wax in them and you need to pop them?
by pop them i sujest you go see your local pharmisist or GP to get your ears cleaned and to get all the wax out
Why do your ears pop under water?
because water is more dense then air and further you go down the presure builds up making your ears pop.
How many ears do Rabbids have?
There are usually just two, but in Rabbids Go Home you can pop there ears so there is just one or none.
What would happen when you will not go pop even when you need to?
Nothing will happen if you will not go pop even when you need to go pop. Sometimes, people can't pop their knuckles on their fingers or toes even when they feel as if they need to be popped.
Why do your ears pop when you go up or down a hill?
It has to do with air pressure. Whenever there is a big difference between the air pressure inside your ears and outside your ears the ear drum expands or contracts to try to even out the pressure. This causes popping.
What is high air pressure sea level?
i believe that air pressure at sea level is high because when you go lower into water ur ears pop b/c the pressure is so high. Hope this helps :) Sandy The Mad Scientist :O
Can you wear earrings for pierced ears if you don't have pierced ears?
No,because you need the little holes from getting your ears pierced for the earring to go through.
Your ears feel like they need to pop like when flying but unable to do so?
That feeling comes from unequal air pressure between the external ear canal and the middle ear. It is normally relieved, or equalized, by action of muscles that open the eustachian tube, a channel that runs from the back of the throat to the middle ear. Some people have the knack of "popping" their ears; others don't, and it's a difficult knack to teach. Fortunately, there's a trick that works for most people. The muscles that open the eustachian tube are attached to the soft palate (on the roof of the mouth). Those muscles go into action when we chew. For that reason, chewing a piece of gum will eventually result in the contraction of those critical muscles, and the ears will "pop." (Why chew gum? Because the chewing can be continuous without our having to replenish what is being chewed.) If you are in a pressurized cabin or the elevator of a tall office building, the difference in air pressure will be small, and as long as there is no pain, no harm will result if you wait until you return to lower levels, when the pressures will again be equal, and the need to "pop" your ears will disappear. If your ears do "pop" at high altitudes, then you may have to re-pop them when you return to lower levels.
Why do pop up faces happen?
you need permission to go on it
Why do ears pop?
Air pressure. As you increase altitude, air pressure decreases. The pressure within your body then attempts to equalize the pressure and the ear drum membrane is very sensitive to changes in pressure because it thin.
How fast do the Sears Tower elevators go?
it took one min. to get up to the 103thrd floor, and your ears pop on the way up and down is what i experienced.
