My wife and I just completed a week in Maui. We did an intro dive then followed it up by two dives a day for four more days...
I have a problem clearing.......I need to do it every few feet and it seemed to take me forever sometimes but I did get comfortable on most of my dives. However, each time I ascended...my ears were VERY noisy and I had to slow down my ascension to reduce it.
I now have a pressure feeling in my left ear since my last dive four days ago........I just cannot seem to get it to "pop"...when I blow slowly through my pinched nostril I can hear some fluid in that ear only....I tried alcohol and it seems to help for about 10 minutes and it seems to be worse each morning......today I have felt a few short periods of pain in that ear so I am fearing that it may becoming infected.......
Any ideas out there?
