First, the splash can make the ears ring if you happen to hit the water just right with your ear. Second, when rolling in cold water, the cold can cause the fluid in the labyrinth to change viscosity and this, in turn, can cause vertigo and nausea. I have not experiened vertigo, but I have gotten a bit "woozy" from rolling in cold water. Ear plugs have stopped all this.
