Why would blockage of the auditory tube produce an earache?
KarlaOliviaFewsPleas
If the auditory tube were blocked, it would not be possible to equalise the pressure on both sides of the tympanic membrane. If external pressure then declines, the pressure in the middle ear would be greater than that on the outside, forcing the tympanic membrane outward and producing pain.
