Your ears sound like they have fluid in them. That is why you are getting that fullness and muffling sound for a few days after diving. The question is: How did that fluid get in there?
If you allow a squeeze to develop, your middle ear can actually pull blood and other fluid from the surrounding tissue....

You are brilliant, that must be what is going on. I've never heard of this but it makes total sense. I'm just surprised that such a squeeze can develop without me feeling pain.

Also, remember that on CCR, due to the middle ear oxygen absoption, you will want to continue equalizing after a dive for several hours.
