An AIR BUBBLE as a cause of hearing loss??

I've never heard of anything like that, and believe me, I've read up on sudden hearing loss quite a bit! This must be some kind of new theory!

I've been deaf in one ear for 9 years, since I sneezed hard... maybe one day in the grocery store it will suddenly come back to me!?

If anyone has a link to an article about this theory, please let me know!
