Pressure changes in a commercial aircraft are trivial compared with those experienced by a SCUBA diver. Water being 800 times more dense than air.
SCUBA instructors and dive guides have now spent decades exposing themselves to this several times a day with no physiological harm so long as recommended procedures are kept to.
