The following question has two different answers on two Q&A banks. One shows C and one D. The question is exactly the same on both, so which one is correct, if either?

How can you determine if a person is suffering from a barotrauma of the sinuses of the nose (aerosinusitis) or the middle ear (aerotitis)?

A) Barotrauma of the middle ear will not effect hearing.
B) There is no difference.
C) Hearing difficulties will normally accompany aerotitis.
D) Aerosinusitis will never develop during descent.


Many thanks!

Noted with thanks but what makes the question rubbish? Is it a typical ATPL question?
