Sorry, high pressure, negative altitude.
Like, 4 bar cabin pressure, enough to cause damage to the inner ear.
Wow! That would cause more than some damage to the ear! It would 'blow the bloody doors off!'

Max. diff pressure is usually circa. 7psi - around 500mB - about 0.5 Bar, in very round numbers.
