Really good suggestions here!
I’ve found Frenzel easier to do without overdoing it, unlike with Valsalva. Staying upright on descent also helps.
I’ve had bad ears all my life and am running into a strange problem. Take my time descending, but if I do repetitive dives my worse ear does fine but I end up with barotrauma to my good ear. I stay comfortable on ascent but in the last 10-15 feet I get sudden gurgling from major depressurization.
Any ideas to try? Eustacian tube dilation? It’s the only thing holding me back from doing dedicated dive trips.
