THE EFFECT OF FLIGHT ON THE MIDDLE EARJAMA, 109
Abstract SINCE Armstrong and Heim1 published the original description of aero-otitis media in 1937, much has been written about this relatively new morbid process. Under the impetus of World War II and the vast increase in flying which has accompanied it, the problem of aero-otitis media has come to assume much more importance in aviation medicine than ever before.

The present article is a report of observations on aero-otitis media that occurred as a result of high altitude "flights" in pressure chambers. "High altitude flights" in pressure chambers do not exactly duplicate actual flying; nevertheless the simulation of the physical conditions References 1. Armstrong, H. G., and Heim, J.
