It is usually due to a problem with the blood circulation such as carotid stenosis a narrowing of the carotid artery as it passes through the neck.
Sounds like a washing machine in my ear. It happens often when I am lying down to rest. No this sounds like a bigger heavier motor that is running 247 and and something has gone wrong with it so it groans slightly. In fact it is head phones and Ipods that have probably contributed to this inner ear because loud music blasting into the ears causes damage.
It makes a washing machine like soundsonogram sound and changes as i move my head. Sensorineural hearing loss SNHL due to exposure to loud noise Menieres disease or aging. I have constant pulsating in my ear.
Posted November 8 2012. Hi last 7 weeks i noticed a swishing sound in my right ear for like 2 or 5 seconds. Sounds like Morse Code to me.
Listening to music through an IPod or ear phones is all right if the volume is kept low. At first I thought a machine was left on in my apartment -- I was going through all my electronics to see if it was making the sound but to no avail. Los Angeles I recently as in the past few weeks suddenly started hearing a beeping sound in my left ear.
On my car the swishing sound would stop when the AC was actually cooling which sounds backwards. Oftentime you have to tell the radiologist what you are looking for in advance. I can feel some of the tinnitus.
Leave it running and turn on the AC to the lowest fan speed. All started from a sinus infection in April. Trauma to the head or neck neck misalignment and TMJ disorders.
