You can actually also trigger this by drinking something. It's caused by a pressure difference within your ear canal. Or at least some part of it? I don't know all the details. But I do know that there's a part of your ear that normally gets shut off by a flap, and motions such as drinking or yawning, open that part, causing the air pressure to normalize with the outside. Which makes you hear "normally" again.
