you must be having secretory otitis media or glue ear. normally ear and nose are connected through Eustachian tube , which main function is to balance pressure between the ear and nose. the tube gets blocked if there is any pressure variationslike swimming or on high altitude. consult the doctor if problem persists. you may be having chronic Eustachian catarrh which may be the cause of your problem.
