- in the water, is if sufficient to simply hold this muscle postion and let the mouth equalize the inner ear via the open tubes, or are you doing some movement to make that happen?
- what if any are the depths or conditions that BTV starts to fail?
- I hear a 'crackle' followed by the sort of 'roaring' sound as if yawning.
- The adams apple moves down, and sometimes the jaw opens just slightly.
- I taught myself BTV, I will explain when I have more time to post.
- In the water it is the same, I try to hold the muscle position.
- I can only do it in very shallow water (up to 2m) for some reason.
