Definition of Middle Passage. : the forced voyage of enslaved Africans across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas.
The Eustachian tube, a canal that runs from the middle ear to the back of the nose and throat, is shorter and more horizontal in infants and young children than in older children and adults.

The result is that infants and young children are at greater risk of acquiring ear infections than adults.
