Barotrauma

Hi..I recently suffered a barotrauma in my left ear. My ear drum wasn't perforated..but I have constant ringing in my ears. The ENT said it will stop in its own time...and no scuba diving for 2 months...oh dear !

Has anyone else experienced the same thing? and how long did the ringing last?

One animal that every diver will have encountered, because they don't hide or swim away and are mostly brightly coloured: the sponge. Sponges are single or colonial animals which body bears many pores. Hence the name of its Phylum: Porifera (Latin porus, 'pore'; ferre, 'to bear').
