What Causes Ringing Sound And Bubbling In The Ears?

My ears feel like they are bubbling inside. The pain comes and goes. I also have ringing in the ears accompanied by headaches/earaches. I had tubes in my ears three different times as a child. They aren t hurting now, just very bubbly, and plugged feeling...and constantly feeling like they are popping,as if descending flight or mountain. What is going on?

Hi.
This is a classical case of Eustachian Tube Dysfunction.
Since your tubes are diseases , scarred or so the regaining a normal ear function is difficult.
You really need a long course of steroids, antibiotics, antihistamine and anti-inflammatory medicines.
Ct scan of the sinuses to see for the root cause and get treated accordingly.
Audiometry to know the hearing loss, pressure inside to ear drums, CT scan of the brain and mastoids to rule out any other associated problems
