My left ear will over a few days become what I call 'fatigued'. It becomes mildly sensitive to clearing, and then the bubbles from exhausting out of the left side of my reg will go past and bother it. I believe this has happened more than once.

The trip I just got back from, a few people had hats of sorts they wear underwater. Warm water so hoods were not required. I started wondering, if the bubbles going past that ear could be slowly causing my issue. With my lp hose on the right side of my reg, I'd imagine the bubbles more often than not, go up my left side naturally.

Anyone experience this? TIA.
