Thanks for the input. I have had ear issues since I started spinning back in 1997. It always feels like there is pressure in the left ear that raidiates down my neck. I have been to the Drs numerous times and have had MRIs and they can't seem to figue it out. It hurts at times and when there is a lot of pressure I get pretty darn dizzy. Swimming makes it worse That is what stopped me from doing Tris, but I really want to get back into it. I will try your suggestions and see what happens.
