GUSHING SOUND IN EARS?

My mother has recently had congenital heart
failure and is on medication to control it...
she's had high blood pressure for many years
and has also been taking medication for that.  
Since her CHF, she gets this loud gishing sound
in her ears at least 2 times a week when she is
in a reclining position.  I've asked her Doctor
about it but he doesn't really offer any
explanations and sort of ignores the question.
Can you suggest why this might be happening?
It really scares her.  Thanks.
