Are you saying that the feeling of pressure will stretch the eardrum or something?
- throwanem 10y agoI think that or something like it would have to be the mechanism. I don't really know a lot about research in that area, but I know I'm not the only one who finds that closed-back headphones produce earache after a few hours, and noise-canceling ones in less time than that.
