General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There could slight impact on ear drum due to water forcing into your ear. This could be causing discomfort and decreased hearing. You need to consult an ENT specialist who will otoscope into ear and check further to see for damage to ear drum.

Hope it helps.
