Rhinitis has also been found to adversely affect more than just the nose, throat, and eyes.  It has been associated with [[sleeping problems]], problems with the ears, and even been linked to learning problems.
===Complicaitons===
===Complicaitons===
Catarrh can result in the inability of the [[Eustachian tube]] to equalize the pressure on the two sides of the eardrum resulting in pain and damage to the [[eardrum]] ([[barotrauma]]).
As a result of the inability to equalize the pressure, there can be a buildup of pressure around the eardrum which results in ear pain. As a result, catarrh can result in discomfort with changes in air pressure such as those that accompany:
*Elevators
*Airplanes
*Traveling at elevation
and other activities associated with a change in air pressure.
Even the shallow end of a swimming pool can be problematic to the person with catarrh in so far as [[barotrauma]] to the middle ear can occur in as little as 4 feet of water.
