Yeah, the most effective control for me has been consistent workouts. I've interestingly found that cardio seems to be best at keeping my symptoms at bay. My hypothesis there is that it's actually the extra sweat over strength training, and shedding of electrolytes thus lowering of my water retention that may lower pressure in the middle ear, keeping the membrane from rupturing. This is also anecdotal -- I'm not super keen on deliberately allowing the symptoms to return in order to experiment, and I don't exactly have a control group. I'll have to try increasing my water intake as well and see how much that helps. Thanks for the advice, and best of luck to you as well :-)
