Boyle's Law
Boyle's Law, a principle that describes the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas. According to this law, the pressure exerted by a gas held at a constant temperature varies inversely with the volume of the gas.

As the plane rises and the pressure in the airplane decreases. The pressure in your eardrums increases which causes the volume of the eardrum to increase.

Example problem

If the plane is in the air at a pressure 50 kpa expanding the air in your ears to a volume of 25 ml of oxygen. What is the volume when the air pressure is at 125 kpa.
