Packing has no effect on if you will get barotrauma or not. Barotrauma only caused by pressure on the middle ear. If you took that air and if what Efattah says is true that with Frenzel you can cause enough pressure that you can damage your ears it may be true. I think he did state that is only on land though. Barotrauma from what I have experienced and know is usually only caused by divers not equalizing enough and still going deeper when there ears are equalizing. I hope my posts help. Feel free to send me a private message.
