Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with you health care concerns

You recently had a tympanoplasty and now you are hearing a whooshing sound fro the effected ear. This is possibly a failure of teh graft. The only true way of knowing is for you to see your doctor. But from what you are saying the likelihood of a failure is high.

I recommend that you seek your doctor to check you ear.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact HCM again with your health care concerns
