6 Methods to Equalize Your Ears By Divers Alert Network

The article "6 Methods to Equalize Your Ears" on Divers Alert Network details techniques divers can use to balance ear pressure. These methods aim to open the Eustachian tubes, allowing air to enter and equalize pressure. Techniques include the Valsalva Maneuver, Passive Equalization, Voluntary Tubal Opening, Toynbee Maneuver, Frenzel Maneuver, Lowry Technique, and Edmonds Technique. Each method has its approach, from simple actions like swallowing or yawning to more complex maneuvers involving throat and jaw movements. Divers are encouraged to practice these methods to find the most effective one for them and to equalize early and often during a dive.
