Wooshing sound in one ear

(1/8) > >>

Hannahlou:
Does anyone get a swooshing sound in just one ear?

This started for me yesterday morning and hasn’t let up yet. Continuous swooshing sound like you can hear the blood rushing through your ear or can hear your heartbeat in your ear

Is this a peri thing or should I be worried?

CLKD:
No need to be worried, I've had these sensations for years.  Have you put your little finger into the ear to give it a wriggle?  My R side is worse when I lay my head on the pillow  :( so the wriggle sometimes eases it.  I can hear my heart beat, DH always tells me 'better than not hearing it'  ::)

Tinnitus is my other noisy experience  ::). 

Hannahlou:
CLKD Oh thank god it’s not just me. I was thinking something serious could be going on. Yes I’ve tried the finger wriggle in the ear but doesn’t work. Sometimes it seems louder than others. Something else to have to learn to live with then. Thanks so much for your reassuring reply ❤️

CLKD:
Keep wriggling  ;D.  Or blow your nose gently because the tubes are joined up.   If U haven't head aches, nausea or continual ear ache, it's nowt to worry about.  If it continues for more than 3 months on a continual basis, get your ears checked.  12 months ago my audiologist told me that I'm not deaf - for my age  ;D [I've known him for years so it's OK]. Worth paying for.

Or whistle .......... diverts the brain. Apparently  ::)

Hannahlou:
Thanks so much for the advice CLKD. I feel a bit better about it now. I shall try some more wriggling
