The last time that I dove was about 3 weeks ago. On our final decent, I reached the bottom @ 15 FFW. I felt pressure on my sinuses, even though I had equallized on the way down and my ears had cleared. Rather that do the right thing and ascend to equalize again, I held my nose & gently blew until the sinus pressure was gone. After we ascended, I noticed a slight discomfort in my right ear and my left ear was slightly muffled. After about a day, the right ear was fine. My left ear is still slightly muffled. I am wondering if the extended equalization attempt (when my ears didn't need it, just the sinuses needed equalization) may have streached my eardrum.
Anyone else have any ideas?
