EAR EQUALIZING TECHNIQUES
One of the most important abilities patients need to master to undergo Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is equalising the middle ear pressure. This is similar to what happens when people dive, or when they descend to land in an aircraft or when driving down a mountain pass. This is critical in order to undergo hyperbaric oxygen therapy without discomfort.
Please watch the video that explains the various techniques. It is aimed at teaching divers how to equalize, but the principles are exactly the same.
If you have any questions, or battle to equalise, please call us in advance on 021-9389809 / 10 or 08 or e-mail us on hyperbarics@sun.ac.za.
