UN SUJET QUI REVIENT SOUVENT<\/strong> when discussing dive safety is the use of earplugs. Are they safe to use while diving? Can they be used if someone has tubes in their ears due to an ear infection or a ruptured eardrum? Can they prevent swimmer\u2019s ear? Does DAN have any recommendations? These questions are often posted on online message boards and frequently get asked on our medical line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People might wear earplugs for in-water activities for a multitude of reasons. One underlying premise for using them is to keep the external auditory canal dry, which could help people who have frequent issues such as swimmer\u2019s ear, surfer\u2019s ear or any type of communication through the eardrum (tympanic membrane). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For swimming and other surface activities, earplug use doesn\u2019t have any likely consequences because there isn\u2019t a change in pressure at the surface. For diving, however, earplug use can have detrimental results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les \u00e9l\u00e8ves qui suivent une formation en eau libre apprennent plusieurs m\u00e9thodes pour \u00e9galiser les espaces a\u00e9riens. Qu'il s'agisse de la man\u0153uvre de Valsalva ou d'une autre technique d'\u00e9galisation modifi\u00e9e, nous apprenons \u00e0 pousser l'air dans les trompes d'Eustache pour \u00e9galiser l'espace de notre oreille moyenne. Ce passage \u00e9troit est d\u00e9licat ; si l'\u00e9galisation n'est pas effectu\u00e9e t\u00f4t et souvent, la pression exerc\u00e9e par l'environnement sous-marin peut \u00eatre trop forte pour que l'air puisse y circuler efficacement. C'est pourquoi les instructeurs enseignent aux \u00e9l\u00e8ves qui ne parviennent pas \u00e0 \u00e9galiser \u00e0 remonter l\u00e9g\u00e8rement et \u00e0 r\u00e9essayer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lorsque l'\u00e9galisation est r\u00e9ussie, l'air pouss\u00e9 par les trompes d'Eustache fait augmenter la pression dans l'espace de l'oreille moyenne, ce qui lui permet de correspondre \u00e0 la pression ambiante de l'environnement sous-marin exerc\u00e9e sur l'ext\u00e9rieur de la membrane tympanique. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using traditional earplugs creates an additional air space that your anatomy cannot equalize. The increase in pressure on descent puts pressure on the earplug and pushes it further into the ear due to the decrease in pressure of the air space created. According to Boyle\u2019s Law, the relationship between gas volume and pressure are inversely proportional (of a given mass, at a constant temperature). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Si vous descendez \u00e0 3 atmosph\u00e8res (20m\/66ft), par exemple, l'air est \u00e0 un tiers de son volume d'origine, y compris l'air dans l'espace cr\u00e9\u00e9 par le bouchon d'oreille. Pour compenser cela, le bouchon d'oreille est pouss\u00e9 plus loin dans le conduit auditif externe qu'il ne devrait l'\u00eatre, jusqu'\u00e0 ce qu'il rencontre trop de r\u00e9sistance et s'arr\u00eate. Parall\u00e8lement, tant que rien ne bloque la trompe d'Eustache et que le plongeur s'\u00e9galise ou que l'\u00e9galisation passive se produit, la pression augmente dans la cavit\u00e9 de l'oreille moyenne. Cette pression accrue, associ\u00e9e \u00e0 la diminution de la pression de l'air entre le tympan et le bouchon d'oreille, provoque l'incurvation de la membrane tympanique vers l'ext\u00e9rieur. Lorsque le plongeur continue \u00e0 descendre dans la colonne d'eau, la pression peut finir par devenir si importante que la membrane tympanique peut se rompre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On pourrait faire valoir que l'utilisation de bouchons d'oreille ventil\u00e9s att\u00e9nue ce probl\u00e8me. Les bouchons d'oreille ventil\u00e9s permettent \u00e0 l'eau de p\u00e9n\u00e9trer dans le conduit auditif externe. Si le but du port des bouchons d'oreille est de garder le conduit auditif externe sec, les bouchons d'oreille ventil\u00e9s n'y parviendront pas car de l'eau p\u00e9n\u00e9trera dans l'\u00e9vent et remplira l'espace suppl\u00e9mentaire au fur et \u00e0 mesure que le volume d'air diminuera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Si les plongeurs souhaitent utiliser des bouchons d'oreille dans un autre but, par exemple pour att\u00e9nuer les probl\u00e8mes de vertige calorique ou les difficult\u00e9s d'\u00e9galisation, les bouchons d'oreille ventil\u00e9s peuvent pr\u00e9senter les m\u00eames risques que les bouchons d'oreille traditionnels s'ils sont obstru\u00e9s. Si de la salet\u00e9 ou des d\u00e9bris tels que du c\u00e9rumen bloquent l'\u00e9vent, le r\u00e9sultat est le m\u00eame que si l'on utilise un bouchon d'oreille non ventil\u00e9 et il en r\u00e9sultera probablement un barotraumatisme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certains sites Internet vendent des bouchons d'oreille destin\u00e9s aux plongeurs. Certains vendeurs affirment m\u00eame que le DAN soutient leur produit. DAN ne recommande pas l'utilisation de bouchons d'oreille pour la plong\u00e9e.<\/strong> En fonction du probl\u00e8me, d'autres options sont possibles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour les probl\u00e8mes de communication \u00e0 travers la membrane tympanique, tels qu'une tympanostomie (tubes) ou une perforation, nous recommandons d'attendre qu'ils soient ferm\u00e9s. Si elles ne se referment pas, consultez un oto-rhino-laryngologiste pour discuter des possibilit\u00e9s de r\u00e9paration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To address moisture in the external auditory canal, there are a few different ways to assist your body with draining remaining water from your ears as well as several over-the-counter products that can help restore the ear canal\u2019s natural condition to prevent infections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discutez des options avec votre fournisseur de soins m\u00e9dicaux afin de d\u00e9terminer le meilleur choix pour vous. Le d\u00e9partement m\u00e9dical de DAN est disponible pour consultation si votre fournisseur a des questions ou des inqui\u00e9tudes. AD<\/p>\n\n\n\n
