What Causes Unequal Pressure In Ears?
i am 17 and about 6 2 ish and around 220 pounds. I have been having problems with my left ear. it just doesn t seem to presurise very well. i don t have a history of ear trouble but my mom did get frequent ear infections when she was young. i just recently noticed this when i tried scuba diving and i couldn t get to the bottom of the pool. no matter what i did my left ear just would not equalize. i am a little worried about this because i enjoy things that require multiple changes in pressure
