  Hello!
  Sometimes when you enter the airplane, because of the change in pressure in the plane at high altitude, there is extra stress on the eardrums (earlobes are where you put earrings). Eventually the pressure in your ears will adjust, and it’s perfectly ok! If you’re extra worried, you can swallow a lot or yawn and/or chew gum once you enter the airplane 🙂
