What Causes Ear Fluids With Muffled Hearing After A Descent?
I went diving with a helmet on only about fourty feet and had a little trouble equaluzung in one ear but it seemed to go away before I made the rest of my decent. Equalizing every six feet or so. I don t believe I got water in my ear though it could be a possibility but now I have muffled hearing but if I tilt my head over toward the side that s muffled it clears up for a few seconds. It doesn t hurt but I don t know what it is

This may be tube block on that side. : eustachian tube which runs between the Nose and Ear trying to equalise pressure. Take anti inflammatories for a couple of days to decrease the swelling / block in tube. Also if there is wax in ear can swell up and block the ear if water enters in. Need a check up if the problem persists
