Ear bubbling sensation10/27/2009 |
Hello, Last month I was on a plane, and as we descended I felt a sharp pain in my head and extreme pressure in my ears (never felt this before, although I travel frequently). Ever since this incident, my right ear feels "full", and I get a bubble sensation, where I actually feel bubbling and gargling noises in my ear, not to mention that my hearing isn`t the greatest...what has happened?
You probably have fluid behind the ear drum due to Eustachian tube dysfunction. I recommend that you see an otolaryngologist and get a hearing test. You may be placed on antibiotics or have a temporary tube placed into your eardrum.
