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?

The BendsThe Bends
Ask any scuba diver what is the one thing they fear most when diving and they will tell you it is the bends. However, if you get a group of divers together they will no doubt joke that '... we will probably all end up bent sooner or later!'. I myself often joked to friends and family that 'I'll probably just end up bent ...' and like most divers I used to think that it would never happen to me ... but it did. I got bent.
