Wooshing in the ears during quiet time is an abnormal performance, which is commonly seen in neurogenic tinnitus, cerumen impaction, otitis media, etc. 1. In healthy people, there is no obvious sound in the ear when it is quiet; for those who have neurogenic tinnitus, it can be due to the poor function of the circulation in the ear, resulting in cell metabolism dysfunction, which may appear as wailing tinnitus. When exposed to noise, staying up all night, etc., it may aggravate the wailing ringing in the ear, which is more obvious when it is quiet. 2. When there is a long-term accumulation of cerumen, causing embolism, especially near the tympanic membrane, there may be a wailing sound in the ear, and there is no special sound in the ear after removing cerumen in most cases. 3. When there is otitis media, the inflammatory factor in purulent secretion or effusion stimulates the inner ear, which can lead to abnormal discharge of hair cells in the inner ear, manifesting a calling sound, which is persistent and obvious when it is quiet. Therefore, you should actively seek medical attention to clarify the diagnosis when ear discomfort occurs.
