What Could Be The Reason For Having A Whooshing Sound In My Ear?
I have a wooshing sound in ear when laying on stomach. Also happens when I lay on my side as well, not when I lay flat on my back. Had spinal tap done 10 days ago, spinal headache from csf leak went away 2 days ago. Now what s wrong?! When I have the whooshing sound my eyes have a a hard time seeing. As soon as I lay flat on my back it goes away.

Plz check your hearing by audiometry as spinal tap sometimes gives nerve loss which causes tinnitus...it may b temporary or remain for long time...but neglect the symptom is the only treatment along wth tab ginkocer two tab twice a day for six mths is an option...
