Translation (English):
Ear pain occurs due to increased water pressure when diving deeper, which compresses the air in the middle ear. When the pressure is not balanced, the eardrum bends inward, causing pain.
The way to prevent this is by ear equalization, which involves adding air into the middle ear to balance the pressure. Common techniques include:
- Valsalva maneuver: Gently blowing while pinching the nose closed.
- Frenzel technique: Using the tongue and throat muscles to push air (commonly used in freediving).
When you learn with us, our instructor team will teach proper and safe equalization techniques, so you can dive comfortably and avoid injury.
