Introduction to Equalisation | Equalising Part 1 | ADRENO

Equalising for spearfishing and freediving. Why do you need to equalise? Wayne talks the science behind equalisation, going in-depth on why you get the pain or discomfort and how important it is to take the time to learn to eqalise properly.

this dudes a legend, saw him in the store the other day, super friendly.

[@gabrieljohannson6777]

I don't dive, free dive, spearfish because I can't equalize. That & I've blown my left eardrum 5 times, right eardrum twice. I've got hearing loss in my left no surprises. Great video. Gotta add that an experienced diver once told me that snorkelling was worse for your ears due to the constant change in pressure being experienced. Always found that an interesting piece of advice. Happy spearfishing people.

[@MoseseYT]

My left ear will equalize well because of this video. Thanks 💯👏

[@kathrinewilson2703]

Things my padi instructor should have mentioned... 9 weeks later and still healing... thank you

[@justinprendeville2678]

Whoever balanced the sound put most of it in the left speaker?

[@Hfd678vcdg]

lapel mic isn't stereo, editor needs to fill the right channel to fix in post

[@ADRENO]

Hey Justin, Sorry about that, technical issue.

[@DontStopBrent]

@Adreno Spearfishing I’m just glad for the training!

[@michaeljdt9235]

ALWAYS 1 NEGATIVE GUY LOL

[@danorama1514]

I think you guys missed the joke... lol

[@fayleya3865]

FANTASTIC instructor! Really great way of explaining things. Many thanks

[@superdupertyson]

Awesome channel guys. Love the passion and information you freely share

[@oasiscampervans8486]

This is great info, and I love the Nuclear Fusion intro! Good choice.

[@MarcoLA923]

You are amazing... please do more videos!!!

[@albertoestrada820]

Good lookin out! Thanks!

[@chillmilo]

Thanks For The Advice Very Helpful👍😁

[@Engramkg]

These advices are great, I wish I could get this info before rupturing my right ear drum.

[@SpearoWannabe]

very helpful. some got deaf by diving without this equalization. thank for sharing

[@jeffsievert5476]

Great Advice !

[@leksandrK]

Thank you very much! I hope one day I will come to Australia and do spearfishing.

[@oldmate8911]

My right ear enjoyed this video

[@YOGiiZA]

Good advise , thank you

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

Really great info and love the professional quality of all your videos (y)

[@fabrigasmaka8256]

Hello! Sir I have a question that does the wetsuit hood helps with the pressure when your going down? If not why do they use that particular one?

[@andrewcullum7097]

Hi,I can equalise at atmospheric pressure by swallowing and pinching, but I can't equalise by moving the tongue up and back and I gag. Is there anything else I can do?

[@NikoNemo]

Precious 1

[@montgomerymassotherapy6146]

Can this also happen with rapid descents in a plane.

[@ryzza9359]

Please do a yellowtail kingfish Tips

[@ADRENO]

Great idea!

[@adiambari9170]

Indonesia hear it,, thank you sir,,🙏 Yo ma men,,

[@lachlanoneil8938]

If I make alot of freedives deep for 3 + days in a row my ears almost always start to become hard to equalise even though they never hurt and when it happens I have to waste alot of time mid water trying to equalise or have to stay shallow

[@lachlanoneil8938]

Also they start to hurt when I equalise probably even more so when I'm out of water and I get heaps of random half pops not just one

[@guamsvideobygageignacio8293]

I really like watching your guyses video especially wanted spearfishing and snorkel videos and stuff like that I really like watching you guys is tips and you spray gun video your roll a gun video on guns like that

[@ADRENO]

Thanks! Glad you enjoy our videos.

[@oceanterror5693]

Hello sir im One of your followers.. Just want to know and ask why is it when i dive very deep my eyes got tears.. Thanks.. Hope you reply.. 😊

[@sunsetman9192]

Do I equalise just going down? What about coming up?

[@josephmcdonagh8389]

Not really, because the pressure is decreasing.

[@rpetersen2]

Negative, his reply above is incorrect in every way, you always want to equalize up and down as it allows repeated dives more often and repetitively and helps install better technique and helps prevent an imbalance of equilibrium which nit only reduces issues with balance but helps prevent vertigo from diving at depth!!! If you have issues going to the bottom of an old school pool at 10 to 12 ft then you definitely need to always practice equalization during descent and ascension

[@satoshinakamoto7226]

@@rpetersen2 good info. Thanks

[@mortache]

Video about equalizing ear stuff and the sound in the ears aren't equal... Coincidence? I think not ;)

[@user-qm6bg5vx9u]

I cant equalise my left ear , it gets more difficult as much as I try. Any suggestions?

[@dragonfist]

what method of equalization you are using?

[@user-qm6bg5vx9u]

dragonfistbs thanks for asking. I pinch my nose and blow. My right ear pops but my left ear may get a little pop or nothing.

[@lambobrus]

Tilt your head away from the ear that is being difficult, apparently extending the eustschian tube can help..

[@dragonfist]

do not use this equalisation technique it can cause damage to the eardrum. Google Frenzel equalisation

[@user-qm6bg5vx9u]

dragonfistbs thank you very very much for that advice. That is very affective. For a fact that my left ear equalised easer then the right one when it was the opposite. Many thanks

[@billybroburling1683]

Does cold water effect equalising

[@dragonfist]

no

[@lambobrus]

Not directly but often people are tense in cold water, as a result constricting the eustchians.

[@ADRENO]

Hey Billy, As Jacob said, cold water doesn't have any direct effect on equalising, however, it has been noted that some people have a histamine response to cold water causing a partial blockage in the eustchian tubes.

[@rpetersen2]

As a biochem major I will tell you not only is Jacob and Adreno correct, but they also aren’t. Each person is different in genetics and biology and nothing can change this except training and repeatedly involving yourself in the same situation! This being said yes cold water affects equalizing directly as it happens in the inner ear and effects the Fallopian tubes and the colder it is the harder it should be to equalize if you aren’t experienced as you will experience minor shock from the water temps and possibly be in mild hypothermia and have issues, especially if you are only acclimated to warmer water temperatures. That being said, comfort under water and experience play a large role as well as you know to stop descending and equalize before passing different atmosphere levels without regard and risking issues so the answer is more truly yes and no from the scientific standpoint!!!

[@Baph839]

I equalize by pressing on my nose and pushing my ears out?

[@ADRENO]

Hey there, that method is great for getting down in the shallower water, but if you're looking to dive deeper and for longer, we would recommend looking into the Frenzel equalising method, which we'll be covering in part 2 and 3 of this mini series.

[@fluffy3049]

Me using solely my right ear bud looking at all the left ear bud comments : 👁️👄👁️

[@forestjack4933]

Love the videos boys, but this one felt a bit rushed. People in the background, lots of video cuts etc. The content is great though and always informative.

[@ADRENO]

Hey Forest, thanks for the feedback, we're always experimenting with subtle changes like changing the angle to include customers in the background so it's great to hear your feedback.

[@MrSwordstroker]

1 minute of repeating the same thing...

[@wezibonus]

stop scare us we know free diver can go more than 40 no problems in ear

[@matthewmills6452]

A whole video on Introduction to Equalisation with many hand gestures to illustrate "Equalizing". Never once explained how to equalize. I still don't know how to equalize. Stupid video.

[@jacoblasker7227]

Matthew Mills In the title it doesn’t state once that he was going to teach us how to equalise but it is in the part 2 vid.

[@docholiday5362]

Matthew Mills Bruh tell me why i thought the same thing now im looking up videos on how to equalize 😂😂😂😂

[@bennyjavellana7449]

You must equalize a lot your nose is red😂

[@afzaltar2750]

Was thinking the same thing.

[@etsnation4961]

Too much talking and don't even say what equalizing is and how to do it.
