Wow, that is interesting. I have spent many years with fluid in the ear, and had tubes a few times. I do have a lay person's opinion - the trauma of numbing & puncturing probably irritated your middle ear, leading to your symptoms. If you are accustomed to swallowing or or blocking your nose to clear your ears, neither will work with the hole there.
Have you called the ENT to report what happened?

Hi - yes I have contacted her and she is not concerned - but the procedure to put the tube in is exactly the same - they would still puncture the ear drum and drain the fluid and then put the tube in - so the trama would be the same - I was told I would feel slight improvement as soon as she did the procedure but still would be muffed - but in my case it just feels fully blocked and pressured that’s why I feel concerned
