  1. cuz ur body is different from ur ears


  2. Your body doesnt have the power to reduce pressure like your ears do.  The Eustacian tube regulates the pressure in your ears, and your body will feel pressure, but has no way to release it.  I think....

  3. It's because most of your body is not an air space, like inside ears are. It's either liquid or solid which doesn't compress. Your ears are connected via , with what's called an eustachian tube, to the rest of the air spaces in your body ( Lungs, trachea and sinus cavities). Air compresses easily. That's the "pop" you hear and the slight discomfort you may feel in your forehead ( sinus), nose and ears as these airspaces are squeezed by the surrounding water pressure.

  4. well if you think about it, what are the ears? they're basically a long tube with an eardrum at the end of it. look at picture 1, then read this article:

    and remember how different an ear looks than a body.

  5. cuz

  6. Because the pressure is not significant. If you went very very far down under water you could do your body real damage from intense water pressure, which is why submarines are made of such thick metal --to resist the pressure.
