What u r doing is like valsalva....manoevre which will open up ur tube. In any case ur ear may have been blocked due to neg pressure generated by injury and fluid exudation. There may be middle ear fluid or a small tear in ear drum or there may be already wax present. In any case get it checked by an Ent surgeon
