I am hearing wind like rhythm in my ears with fullness. What is that?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

A ringing sound or wind-like sound in the ear lasting for more than five minutes is called tinnitus. If less than five minutes, it is not significant. This particular sound you are describing can be caused due to dysfunctional eustachian tube, i.e. the tube connecting the ear and the nose.

Usually, it is more in quiet environments and more noticeable when you are attempting to fall asleep. Crowded and noisy places serve as a distraction and do not let you notice the sound. Medicines do work, but it takes at least a month for them to act, that too the sound does not vanish until two to three months have gone by. I understand the trouble it is causing you.

So what is to be done?

1. Keep a table fan for white noise when you are trying to fall asleep.

2. Try and distract yourself when you hear the sound.

3. Get a hearing test done. You can use an audiometry app and send me the result.

4. Follow the prescription.
