It wouldn’t surprise me. I can definitely feel a ‘pressurization’ when wearing headphones or earbuds with noise cancellation. That isn’t the “natural” way our ears operate so there must be some side effects. But I wonder if the same would be true for wearing ear plugs or earbuds that don’t have active noise cancellation but sit tightly in your canal.
I feel that 'pressurisation' too with my AirPods Pro (in-ear speakers) - it becomes increasingly uncomfortable, so that after about 20 minutes I have to turn it off. With the same pair of earbuds with noise cancellation off, I don't have the problem.
