if you're not imagining it, then you've got a hole in your eardrum.

I say you need to see a doc but question why this didnt happen during your sleep study? Are you sure it is not a mask leak? Your pressure is 3? that too is unusual

That is what I would venture to guess too that it is a mask leak. air doesn't normally come out of a persons ear.

It does if you have a punctured eardrum. I ave seen someone blow smoke out of their ears, they had had constant infections and their eardrum was permanently damaged.

The OP must see a doctor immediately.
