​
just finished my first scuba certification and ran into some ear issues during one of the dives. on the third dive my ears didn’t equalize properly, and since then one side has felt blocked. it’s not painful, just that “after a flight” kind of muffled feeling that hasn’t fully gone away.
it improved a bit the next day, and i was able to finish the last dive without problems, but now a couple days later my right ear feels normal again while the left still feels off. hearing isn’t great on that side, but no pain or dizziness or anything like that.
i’ve got a long flight coming up tonight and that’s what’s making me second guess things. being on a remote island makes it a bit harder to get things checked quickly. out of curiosity i took a quick look using a small ear camera (bebird), but nothing obvious stood out.
just wondering if anyone’s flown in a similar situation and how it went?
