Description
name due to a medical doctor Joseph Toynbee (1815-1866). It was the first to identify that the clicks you hear when you swallow, under the opening of the tubes to equalize pressure in the middle ear.
consists pinch the nose and then swallowing. The muscles of the throat with swallowing, throw open the trunk. In turn, swallowing, stuffy nose with a reduction conditions rhinopharyngeal pressure is transmitted to the middle ear, if the tube is patent.
This technique is not recommended for divers who have swallowing problems during the dive. Nor is it recommended for downhill fast, because when not working on the first try, and the positive pressure has begun to exert its effect on the middle ear, it is increasingly difficult to open the trunk.
Not all divers fail to make up well with this, since it requires a good tubal patency. It is also used in decompression chambers for many divers. History
Joseph Toynbee, born in 1815, was one of 15 children of a farmer in Lincoln. studied medicine in London, and was well known for their great work with the poor, protection of health and public health. in 1855 created the first unit of otolaryngology in the UK in the St Mary's Hospital, Paddington. The three-bed unit was created in order to treat diseases of the ear, nose and throat.
was pioneered many breakthroughs in the field of otolaryngology, including the artificial propagation of tympanic membrane and the modern otoscope. His contribution to the understanding and treatment of diseases of the ear can not be dismissed.
After suffering tinnitus ( medical term for "hearing" noises in the ears when there is no external sound source) for a long time, Toynbee died in 1866 after inhaling the fumes of hydrocyanic acid and chloroform in an attempt to cure his illness.
