Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes, there is a connection behind the ear down to the throat to normalize pressure on both sides of the ear drum. If one is changing pressure due to changes in altitude OR changing pressure in the throat by swallowing, then if the tube is a bit closed then it causes the ear drum to be painfully pulled.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
