  • Page 31: During Treatment

    DURING TREATMENT As the chamber begins to inflate, you may notice added pressure on the ears. This feeling indicates the need to equalize the pressure. The pressure feeling is similar to that of landing in an airplane. This pressure is relieved through the Eustachian tube. There are several methods for relieving this pressure.
  • Page 32 DURING TREATMENT The first, is the Valsavla maneuver. Pinch your nose, close your mouth and try gently blowing out your nose. Repeat every time you begin to feel that pressure Yawning or opening your mouth wide will also help. Lastly, chewing gum may help relieve this pressure. If the above suggestions do not resolve the ear pressure, open the red relief knob until the feeling of pressure is gone.
