Strange Whooshing noises in ears
I have a strange wooshing/weird feeling in ears and tinnitus and on/off vertigo. I was originally told I had Meneire's then I was told I did not have it and was just sent to vestib therapy which did nothing. No one has an explanation and it is quite bothersome. I've had MRI of brain and have 2 blocked small arteries. The neuro didn't think it was related, but now I have numbness in face off and on as well. Very frustrated.

I have discussed this in depth with numerous docs (this is the reason for going to an ENT and Neuro). My neurologist has ruled all of the possible causes you mentioned above except the blocked Eustachian tube, which my ENT had already ruled out. So.... no answers, just alot of noise and frustration.

Well, if Meniere's disease is ruled out, then the symptoms (tinnitus, vertigo and facial numbness) could be due to acoustic neuroma (a benign tumor of the eighth cranial nerve), TMJ, pinched spinal nerves in neck, blocked Eustachian tube or trigeminal neuralgia. Please discuss this with your treating doctor. Take care!
