ear problem!


Question Posted Wednesday March 18 2009, 8:31 pm

I have a weird ear problem. In my right ear every 5 mins or so, I hear this whoosh, wind noise (but there is no wind!) and it kind of throbs/vibrates. I thought it was water in my ear but it doesn't seem that way and I tried ear drops. Has anyone experienced this or might know what it is? It doesn't hurt, but it's extremely annoying and has been happening all day.

If it doesn't hurt you can probably rule out an infection. However, the throbbing could be caused by a restricted blood vessel, preventing smooth bloodflow.

It may also be an early sign of a more serious problem, hypertension. Another possibility could be a damaged eardrum. You should get this checked by a doctor very soon as negligence could cause permanent hearing loss.

Good luck, hope this helps!

Time to see your doctor. It's probably nothing, but you have to rule out anything serious.

My nephew had the same thing and it turned out to be a blood vessel near his ear and the sound of the blood whooshing through was magnified.

That said, you have to rule out other problems that can be very serious.

Honestly, I have no idea what it could be. But you really should get that checked out with a doctor. Ear problems can worsen very quickly.

Hope it all sorts out!
