I’m really struggling at the moment. I’ve had this for about 6 years and only really hear it at night in certain positions when lying down. I’ve been off work for about 8 weeks now and my anxiety is starting to creep up on me as I’m home alone until later during the day. I can’t sleep at night because this whooshing noise in my ear is scaring me so much. I’ve got a funny optic nerve on the side of that ear and I’ve had lots of tests a few years ago and nothing came of it but I’ve read all sorts about optic nerve and whooshing is a bad sign and I’m terrified. I never get it during the day but today because I’ve been so scared of it I keep hearing it and I don’t know if it’s real or my body tricking me. I’ve figured that if I’ve had these things for 6 and maybe more years that if it was bad I’d know by now, but I’m really struggling with it. It’s seems the more anxious I am the louder it is.
