We always hear about various squeezes when we dive; mask squeeze, sinus squeeze, but probably the most prevalent is ear squeeze. Don't equalize from the start of your descent and you could blow an eardrum. Worse yet you could damage your anvil, stirrup, coclea, semi-circular canals. What the heck am I talking about you say? Well if you take a few minutes to look at the link I have provided you get an excellent simulation of what the ear is all about! Understand a little of the physiology of the ear and it might help you when you feel squeezed. Ciao!
