Hi guys,
It seems that most of the equalisation techniques are about getting pressure to open up the Eustation tube and forcing air up into the back of the ear.
The method of "constant equalisation" by holding a semi yawn position works great but it is hard to keep the tubes open permanently and if you let them close, then you need some pressure to pop the tube back open.
I have a theoretical question to the ear experts out there.
If you had stents (little metal tubes that are used to keep blood vessels from closing) put into your Eustation tubes to keep them open, would that remove the need to manually equalise your ears as the pressure in your mouth would always be the same as that in your ears?
Obviously I am not going to rush out and do this as I am sure there would be infection related complications from water getting into the back of your air but I am just curious.
Thanks
James
