Hi all,
I went diving for the first time in eight months this past Saturday at a shallow reef (no more than 20 feet), but felt my right ear clogged back on shore. This is the second time this happens to me; the first time having happened almost two years ago during a 60 foot dive. It has been a few days now, but my hearing seems to be getting worse. My question is about recovery. I know that recovery takes weeks (it took over a month the first time), but I fear my lifestyle may be making it worse. Specifically, I enjoy working out with heavy weights and practicing high intensity interval training. I fear that this may be putting more pressure on my swollen inner ear. Is my fear justified? Should I take it easy while I recover?
Thanks
