Anyone else experience constant ear auto-equalization after freediving?
I’ve only been freediving a few times and my last dive was about 3 months ago. Ever since then, both of my ears have been randomly popping whenever I swallow, yawn, or make certain jaw movements. At first it wasn’t that frequent, but since last month, it’s been happening a lot. Whenever it happens, I just pinch my nose and inhale deeply so my ears pop back to normal. It’s such a hassle and getting really annoying though.
Has anyone else experienced this or is it really a common thing for freedivers? I’m not sure what’s causing it or how to fix it, so I’d really appreciate any tips or advice.
