Linkage
In total, 16 passengers were taken to hospital with earache.
Surely there was a more technical/serious term for their condition, cos that just sounds like a waste of resources.

Could have resulted in burst ear drums and permanent deafness, so they were right to get it checked out

Loss of Cabin Pressure . . .
Can cause problems in the bloodstream and damage to the ears, better to be safe than sorry eh

When was earache so bad you needed to go to hospital? Burst eardrums sure but earache?

probably a result of the pressure loss, air pressure inside your ears will remain steady for a little while unless you "clear" it, a sudden drop in pressure outside can be pretty painful as the air pressure inside your ears suddenly is a good deal higher than the pressure outside pushing hard against the ear-drums. If the difference is to great the ear-drum can rupture, which is probably what those passengers were checked for.

Well if so say suspected damage to ear drums not earache, does no-one think the term earache is a bit, well, soft?

This is aimed more at the BBC than the people on the plane.

Are we going to hear about every minor malfunction on planes now for 6 months?

I wonder why they lost pressure. Perhaps they had a fume event and figured rather than gas the passengers with burning aviation oil (as has happened many times) it might be smarter get to breathable air and just in keeping with mentioning the BBC here's a piece they wrote on the subject:

Only time I've ever been to hospital was for an ear infection that was monumentally painful. The antibiotics they gave me managed to beat it off but I had to stay in just in case they needed to put grommets in, which happened to the girl in the next bed.

Unfortunately after a major incident, the media goes crazy report every little incident that happens in aviation, regardless of its' severity.
I mean, look at Qantas, the had the oxygen cylinder blow out, that made the news, fine, that doesn't happen every day. Then, a Qantas aircraft loses a panel off the engine cowling, suddenly it's major news as well. That happens more often than you realize, and isn't report anywhere.
Most of the time, a minor problem with an aircraft system is merely noted by the pilots for maintenance, the flight goes on and the passengers have no idea, because there is no danger to the safety of the flight.

Sounds like people giving the Plane Chief a hard time about how the situation was handled. But he's come back with the right answers. He wins.

It was possibly a badly word article. Personally, if I were put in a situation where air pressure was doing silly things very quickly (like in a de-pressurised aeroplane cabin) and found that my ears were hurting, I would want it checked out to make sure the ear drums are intact.

If I had a plane company and had an incident, I'd want to have every passenger with problems thoroughly checked through. Not for the passenger's sake but for liabilities' sake and insurance safety.
