Can diving damage the hearing?

[ArestaL]

When I dive, I immediately feel a strong pressure on my ears. Can this damage the hearing?

Probably not. It would depend on how fast and how deep you dive. i suppose if you had a weak timpanic membrane diving might bring on a tear that was waiting to happen. have yours inspected by a professional and heed their advice.

As a kid I dove a lot and it is normal to feel pressure there. If memory serves, that is.

Hearing loss from diving is possible. https://www.diversalertnetwork.org/health/ears/hearing-loss-deafness

It depends on what kind of diving you are talking about. If it is, what I think it is, the strong pressure on your ears could mean you are doing something right. And its not harmful.
