When water enters the ear canal, it can disrupt the balance of air and pressure inside the ear. This can cause the Eustachian tube to temporarily close and trap water or air, leading to a feeling of blockage or fullness in the ear. This blockage usually clears on its own as the Eustachian tube reopens and equalizes pressure.
