Operate of Toynbee
The operation of Toynbee is a operation of balancing sometimes used in underwater Plongée. The purpose of it is to rebalance the Pression S between the outer ear and the middle ear.
Nevertheless, and in opposition to the other operations (Frenzel, Valsalva or BTV), this one is carried out at the time of the increase.
If, exceptionally, the air cannot pass by again of middle ear towards the throat during the increase, it can be necessary to use this method.
It is then necessary to grip the nose and to carry out a movement of swallowing while trying to inspire by the nose in order to create a depression which will attract the air through the Eustachian tubes.
