This is one of the barotrauma that they don't teach during certification at any level. It is very serious, painful, and can lead to permanent injury. Please feel free to ask me about it - When does it happen? Why does it happen? How to avoid it? And how to manage and treat it.

Well it used to be taught, long long ago. The New Science of Skin and Scuba Diving 1966 printing, the book used when I got certified, external ear squeeze is discussed on page 47. Back before dry suit neck seals it was hard to enter air into the hood so external ear squeeze was more common than today. A dry suit seal then was a handful of twisted and tied off excess suit material.
