My little sis had an operation that they put tiny tubes in her ears so she could equalize her ears as a child.
I got a drill bit and some 3/16 airline... We could give it a try... :thinking-face:
Already had that done. Tubes in the left side went horribly wrong. I can hear just fine--my wife may disagree--but docs can still see the scar tissue on the eardrum and my attempts to equalize pressure just send a string of bubbles out of my left ear and its still painful as hell below about a meter. Two max.

Against regulations. Can only be 3' total including the net.
That's where we take a lesson from nature and engineer... the slingjaw net!

I'm talking with an ENT about getting my eustacian tubes dilated so I can equalize more easily. I already dive but have a heeeelluva time equalizing. I've ruptured twice :rolleyes:

Not to be confused with "tubes in the eardrums" so many of us had as kids.

Obviously your Doctors did not know what I do or lacked my skills...
I am not a doctor in real life, but I play one on the forums ;)

YES! I usually just put on swimming goggle and go swimming, but I sometimes use the snorkel, too. I can't swim down very far. Might make it hard to catch fish, hmm.

My little sis had an operation that they put tiny tubes in her ears so she could equalize her ears as a child.
I got a drill bit and some 3/16 airline... We could give it a try... :thinking-face:
Maybe use some super glue to make sure they don't fall out?

Maybe we can attach a float to a long airline and I can get oxygen through my ears.

At this point it might be better to consider just draining the ocean

I LOVE this idea. I'll need some help though from #Cronies if we're going to do a full ocean rip clean! Exactly what we need to do, and it's about bloody time!!
