ears

[Lenny]

I have a question for anyone who is qualified to answer it.

My ears equalize differently from each other. my right ear makes a little pop, the other makes no sound at all, i can just feel the pressure increasing from the inside of my eardrum. Is this normal, or this dangerous? I have not really dived to any really great depths. I was wondering If you think this could be a damaged eardrum or is it just a normal occurance?

For most divers the ears work a little differently or the other one is more problematic than the other.

As long as you can equalize and there is no pain, I'd say it's normal and ok.

It seems like your left eustachian tube is narrower than the right one.As Jome said everything is OK as long as you CAN equilize.

Sure, thanks for the reply.
