Actually quite the opposite. My ears will pressurize when I hold my nose and swallow, or yawn. They don't pressurize very much. If I blow out my nose then they will pressurize further or in the case, below, both will pressurize.
Besides my previous question here's another one that I notice even when using valsalva(s?)...how do you overcome the uneven pressure build up in both ears. I always seem to have one ear that will pressurize almost immediately and the other one wants to take its good ole time building up pressure. The same ear isn't always dominant. It all depends on the day/dive in question as to which ear is going to be the first to equalize properly.
For example, experimenting around while typing out this message. At the beginning my right ear was equalizing quickly and the left ear was lagging behind. Now the opposite is going on only 5-10 minutes later.
