Q: fluttering sound occures in ear after i burp. wondering if i should be concerned. i don't have insurance, and i'm not sure it's worth going to a doctor?

: The fluttering sound is air moving from your throat into the middle ear past a mild blockage of the eustachian tube. This blockage often accompanies URI's or allergies. I don't consider it odd or any reason to go about your life as you would otherwise.
