If it is a handheld, you can turn/prop it upside down (holes facing up), then maybe then can the air gurgle out while the vinegar solution goes into the holes via gravity. Best is to remove it entirely, disassemble if possible and soak the entire piece in vinegar solution, making sure the air can get out so the interior can be bathed in the solution.

Place it over the shower head so the shower head is completely immersed in the vinegar. Use a thick rubber band to secure it. Leave for 30 minutes then remove (pour it down the drain for more cleaning!) and run hot water through the shower head for a few minutes.
