Medium ear problems due to changing atmospheric pressures, as when a plane descends to earth. The problems include ear pain, ringing, diminished hearing and, sometimes, dizziness. The word barotitis (pronounced bar-o-tit-is) is compounded from bar- as in barometer + otitis importance inflammation of the ear. Alternate terms include aerotitis, aerotitis media, barotitis media, and otic barotrauma.
