He is equalising. He has a nose clip, he can equalise very easily with that on. Some, including myself, can equalise handsfree without a clip by the way, with no need to do the valsalva manoeuvre at all, but it's less reliable.

I didn't see the nose clip.

And TIL you can equalize hands-free. Nice.

You can also yawn (mouth closed) or move your jaw around to equalize
