Summary Introduction
To determine:
The swallowing help alleviate the pressure sensations at the eardrum when the individual is in an airplane that is changing altitude.
Introduction:
When the pressure changes in the airplane from high altitude to low altitude, the ear drums retracts in response to this type of rapid change in which the atmospheric pressure also changes from high to low.

This article in the image illustrates what happens when you blow just above a piece of paper. Describe what you see. What is this phenomenon called? Why does the paper move the way it does?
Then, explain the role of airflow in the Myoelastic-Aerodynamic Theory of vocal fold vibration. Hint: Think about the inverse relationship between air pressure and velocity of air as discussed in our Zoom session-- increased velocity leads to decreased air pressure; what happens to the vocal folds?
Do you believe that listeners' perceptions of this /ʃ-s/ continuum may be influenced by visible articulatory information? If a speaker dynamically articulated either /ʃ/ or /s/, while the acoustically ambiguous fricative parts were dubbed in rhythm with the video, would the visual speech cues clear up the ambiguity and change how the speaker was identified?

What would be some symptoms of this disease? Since the disease affects the inner ear and endolymph, it would probably limit the ability to equalize pressure and cause pain. Since the disease affects the inner ear, it would probably cause nausea and migraines. Since the disease affects the inner ear, it would probably cause issues with taste.
