Otitic barotrauma can be prevented by avoiding activities that involve sudden or extreme changes in air pressure, such as scuba diving, skydiving, or flying in an unpressurized aircraft. additionally, equalizing ear pressure during ascents and descents, such as during air travel or while swimming, can help prevent the condition.
