You’re generalizing a specific phenomenon, and incorrect. Acid-base reactions only very rarely produce gases. The reactions produce heat and water, only in the case of bicarbonate being a base is a gas produced. This is because carbonic acid forms, which spontaneously decays into carbon dioxide. This is not a universal acid-base phenomenon. Soaps should not cause fizzing with vinegar.
Why are you using it as ear drops? Is that safe?
Fizzing with acids usually means they are reacting with a base. Not sure what base would be in your ear though.
Outer ear infection, I guess most ear drops for this are acetic acid? Dr. recommended it to help improve the ph or something.

mmmm
OP’s mom did this. That’s where hoecakes come from.
Gotcha. Just making sure this is all Dr. approved. Vinegar can be more hazardous than some people realize. It is an acid after all.
Another user suggested it might be reacting with soap residue in your ear. This seems the most likely explanation to me.

Soap maybe?
This seems likely. Soap is a base and if you don’t rinse it all out there could be residue in there.
