How do water bubbles in your eardrum effect how you hear noises?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Popping sounds: Bubbles can be in your ear canal or middle ear, where the 3 ear bones or ossicles are located. The symptoms usually include fullness/pressure, hearing loss, and popping sounds. I recommend that you see an otolaryngologist and obtain an audiogram/hearing test.
