I hear a light blowing sound in my ear now and then. i have seen ent and hearing is fine and she diagnosed me with allergies. could this be the cause?

Yes: The light blowing sound you are hearing may be caused by your eustachian tube between your throat and the middle ear blocking off at times this can give you noise either from the tube plugging and unplugging or your heart beat from a vessel running close to or along the eardrum.

No: I do not think that it is likely that allergic disease would cause a light blowing in the ears. These are the kinds of symptoms that sometimes, the honest, ethical doctor can not always give you an answer to. Bottom line, if the hearing is normal and you have no vertigo (spinning sensation), try not to let these symptoms bother you because the middle and inner ears are functioning normally.
