Okay, here is a new/old one for you guys. Out diving Tuesday afternoon, everything seemed fine. Wednesday I noticed something I have noticed a few times in the past. Without attempting any kind of equalizing, I'm automatically equalizing. I can be standing in my yard and I'll hear myself breathing and it feels like I have equalized my ear. Normally in the past it has seems like it typically has been one ear not both ears that are equalized when this condition appears. I can be sitting in front of the computer, driving my car, doing yard work, anything...and my ears will equalize themselves.

The situation lasts for a day max, in the case of Wednesday it lasted about half a day. I didn't notice it any Tuesday evening but I did notice it into early Wednesday afternoon.

I'm not sure what causes the situation. It has seemed generally like some point during the dive session like it has felt that I have gotten water in my ears. Then afterwards I notice the same sensation, later in the evening. The next day is when I always end up noticing the auto equalizing effect.

If I intentionally equalize both ears and then swallow, quite often everything will return to normal for a few minutes before all of a sudden, out of nowhere I'm hearing myself breathing again.

Now if I could do this on demand this would be nice, well maybe at least it would.
