auditory tube
The auditory tube, also known as the eustachian tube, is a narrow passage that connects the middle ear to the upper throat and back of the nasal cavity. Its primary function is to balance air pressure on either side of the eardrum, allowing sound to be conducted accurately to the inner ear. When the pressure is not balanced – such as when you are in a high altitude – your ears may feel blocked or you may hear popping sounds until the auditory tube adjusts the pressure.
