Thanks Colette!  We used to have a scuba diving message network
called DiveNet that was always abbreviated as DN, so I wondered
if this was the same thing.

You're wise to let that heal up properly.  I still have a
slight ringing in one ear from a diving mishap of several
years back.
I was chasing after a grossly over-weighted student diver (25lbs
of lead on a diver weighing about 160lbs) who was plummeting for
the bottom of the ocean. When I finally caught up to him, I
grabbed the lapels of his BC, flared out my own body, and power
inflated my BC to stop his descent.  Fortunately he was just
fine -- a little shaken up, but no major problems.  His instructor
and I had a few words concerning diver safety following that
incident!  Unfortunately, I never had the chance to equalize my
own ears, and we managed to hit about 70 fsw before I got him
under control.  (Swallowing to equalize, just wasn't high on
my list of priorities under the circumstances.)
I suffered a slight trauma to my left inner ear, and still
have a "ringing" sound in there which helps me to remember
that safety *ALWAYS* comes first when planning a dive.
