Tiene tres componentes: la cavidad del o\u00eddo medio, los tres huesecillos del o\u00eddo (os\u00edculos) y la ap\u00f3fisis mastoides.<br><br><\/li><li><strong>Inner Ear<br><\/strong> el o\u00eddo interno es un \u00f3rgano sensorial. Es parte del sistema nervioso central y tiene dos funciones:<br><br><ul><li>Auditiva: la c\u00f3clea convierte las ondas sonoras en impulsos el\u00e9ctricos para el cerebro.<\/li><li>Equilibrio, orientaci\u00f3n y aceleraci\u00f3n: los canales proporcionan parte de nuestro control del equilibrio y la posici\u00f3n y ayudan a detectar la aceleraci\u00f3n.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\"><strong>Mecanismos<\/strong> de lesi\u00f3n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you properly equalize the pressure in your middle ear, your risk of inner-ear barotrauma is very low. If you do not equalize the pressure in the middle ear during descent, so the water pressure on the eardrum transfers inward and may damage sensitive inner-ear structures. If the pressure is excessive, the oval window or, more commonly, the round window may tear, and the inner-ear fluid may leak into the middle ear. This is known as a perilymph fistula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Valsalva maneuver is a common equalization technique. This maneuver increases the intrathoracic pressure, which means the pressure is exerted on all intrathoracic organs. Pliable blood vessels such as the superior vena cava transmit this increased pressure into the head. The skull is a rigid structure with no capacity to expand, so the result is an increase in intracranial pressure. The cochlea is a fluid-filled organ surrounded by soft tissues as well as bone; its only weak point is the external wall in the vestibule, which is adjacent to the middle-ear space. The round and oval windows are two thin and delicate tissues that reverberate with sound. As the increased pressure transmits through the cochlear fluid, it causes an outward movement of the round window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pressure waves alone can cause damage to the inner ear without window rupture. If a rupture occurs, the loss of fluid from the inner ear leads to damage to the vestibular system, causing sudden hearing loss and often acute vertigo with loss of balance. If the leak is not stopped soon by spontaneous healing or surgical repair, permanent hearing loss may occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manifestaciones<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptom onset is usually sudden and often associated with ear equalization issues. Symptoms of middle-ear barotrauma are often present, but their absence does not rule out inner-ear barotrauma. Vertigo is usually severe and accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Hearing loss can be complete, instant and permanent. Hearing loss in divers usually manifests as loss of higher frequencies (acute, high-pitched sounds). The loss might become noticeable only after a few hours. Divers may not be aware of the loss until they have a hearing test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signos y s\u00edntomas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Ear pain may or may not be present.<\/li><li>A severe onset of vertigo (spinning sensation) is usually present.<\/li><li>Loss of spatial orientation is possible.<\/li><li>Hearing loss, sometimes with tinnitus (ringing in the ears), may occur.<\/li><li>The eyes might show nystagmus (involuntary rapid and repetitive eye movement).<\/li><li>A feeling of fullness in the ears (often the least of the diver\u2019s complaints) is possible.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prevenci\u00f3n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>No bucee cuando est\u00e9 congestionado.<\/li><li>Abst\u00e9ngase de bucear cuando sienta chasquidos o chisporroteos en los o\u00eddos, o si tiene una sensaci\u00f3n de plenitud en los o\u00eddos despu\u00e9s de bucear.<\/li><li class=\"translation-block\">Aprende y utiliza <a href=\"https:\/\/world.dan.org\/es\/health-medicine\/health-resources\/diseases-conditions\/middle-ear-equalization\/\" target=\"_self\"><strong>t\u00e9cnicas de ecualizaci\u00f3n adecuadas<\/strong><\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Primeros auxilios<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>If you have symptoms of inner-ear barotrauma, do not try to equalize your ears (even if you feel fullness in them, which is likely).
