“Popping” of the ears is often experienced when taking off on a plane flight because pressure changes in the ear cause slight displacement of the tympanic membrane. This displacement would cause which of the following?

The middle bone of the ear cannot move, temporarily.
The calcareous structures in the inner ear cannot move, temporarily.
The hollow tube in the inner ear that contains the sensory organs of hearing changes position.
The thin membrane that closes the cavity of the middle ear from the outside changes position.

A could be wrong tho

I'm thinking its A too, because of the little vacuum that gets created when this happens, it stretches out the inner ear and doesn't allow proper vibrations.

Yeah I'd go with A
