diving and snorkeling can be fun ways to explore the depths - especially if
you can clear your ears as the pressure changes. In this video lecture Dr.
Edmond Kay discusses techniques for preventing middle ear barotrauma. Learn
what to do to equalize pressure in your ears, teach others proper techniques
and learn the safest way to prevent "ear squeeze". This talk was recorded
live in September, 2000 and is available for viewing in streaming flash
video (window below), a PC broadband version and a MAC QT movie for
streaming over low bandwidth connections. PC-Internet Explorer-Broadband |
