I'm really not sure if this is where I need to post this question. My boyfriend and I are new divers. We just got certified this weekend. We started off in the pool and completed our certification at lake ouachita in Arkansas. My boyfriend has had trouble descending with his left ear. He goes down slowly and clears his ears early and often but it really bothers him whenever we ascend even just a bit and then have to go back down. He does have mild on going sinus problems so I don't know if that is the issue. I just wanted to know what I can do to help him. I want him to be comfortable under that water. I don't have any problems with adjusting my ears. I just clear them or swallow and I'm good to go no matter what the depth. We got out of the water earlier today and he was really in a lot of pain saying that his ears hurt and he felt a lot of pressure. He tried to clear them and nothing helped. They eventually felt better though. If any one has any advice it would be very helpful. Thanks!
