Never done due to fear of my ears. I have always had ear issues when diving and I frequently get ear pain at the slightest change in altitude. Infact my ears are so sensitive I can even get pops when I drive up a mountain road and I frequently get ear pain when I travel by air. I have never been able to Valsalva successfully, it just does not work for me for some reason although I have better results with chewing.
Now, here is my question - given the above, I really want to try skydiving and I am wondering if those who have done scuba and skydiving can compare the two in terms of pressure change. I usually use Earplanes (ear plugs for air travel) and they do a good job regulating the pressure during take off and landing, I have no issues when I use those. I am wondering if I can use those and skydive?
