Pressure Breathing

Pressure breathing is a technique used by divers and aircraft pilots to equalize pressure in the lungs and middle ear when ascending or descending through different pressure environments. It involves controlled inhalation or exhalation against resistance, often with devices that provide adjustable pressure, helping to prevent discomfort or injury from pressure differences. This method supports maintaining proper breathing and ear health during rapid altitude or depth changes, ensuring safe and comfortable transitions through varying pressure zones.
