What Could Swishing In Ears With Ache After Suffering Cold Indicate?

I had cold symptoms for two weeks which have now subsided, however when I burp and keep my mouth closed (for the most part), I get this ocean waves/wind like sound and pressure in my right ear. It goes away in 1-2 seconds, but it's been occurring for 3-4 days now. There is a little ache off and on (not related to the burping), but my hearing is just fine and I can pop my ears as normal.
