A member asked:
What could be a reason that my ear makes thumping noises after coughing / hiccuping?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eustachian tube dysf: It may simply be that the eustachian tubes are blocked due to swelling or fluid behind the ears. It should resolve on its own but if it does not you should see your pcp.
