Emergency Ascent Emergency Ascent

I`ve been thinking about this ever since that guy died last weekend after diving the Oriskany (see Oriskany Death). I still don`t know any details other than what was on the news. Popular speculation is that he suffered an embolism while coming up too fast... dunno. So anyway, I was wondering, do you bother to clear your ears at all during an emergency ascent?...
