SOME FISH ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HUNT IN TIME OF BREEDING I believe the least stressful, most effective way to clear the ears is the Frenzel procedure. This technique was utilized by German Stuka bomber pilots during WWII. At the time, the Stuka bomber attacks were the most precise form of bombing. The pilots would put their plane into a steep dive aimed directly towards the target. Just before crashing into the ground, the aircraft would release the bomb and pull out of the dive. The bomb would follow the launch trajectory and fall into the target. Because this was before the time of computer-aided hydraulics in aircraft, it was necessary for the pilot to use both hands on the control stick to physically pull out of the dive. Since the plane was undergoing rapid pressure changes, and both hands were required to be on the control stick, it was imperative that a hands-free, rapid, effective and safe method of clearing ears was used. The technique they used was developed in 1938 by a German physician named Herman Frenzel. The Frenzel technique is done by placing the tongue on the roof of the mouth, as far forward as possible. While the tongue is held in place, the back of the tongue is gently moved upward. (Imagine driving the tongue through the back of your head. Obviously, you cannot do this, but striving to do so will move the tongue such that a gentle puff of air moves up the Eustachian tube to increase the pressure in the middle ear). Often a "click" sound is heard internally as the tongue is moved. This action does NOT constrict the Eustachian tubes, does NOT over-pressurize the middle or inner ear, and leaves the hands free. It is the safest, most effective way for divers to equalize the pressure in he middle ear. It does, however, take a bit pf practice to master. But, once mastered, it provides safe, effective and hands-free clearing. It is, in my opinion, the method of choice for divers to solve equalization problems. |
