Can a lot of sedation given for a tee echo test have caused my whooshing sound in my ear the next day, it sounds like a hissing sound.

Unlikely: Related to sedation but there could be localized swelling from tee intubation.

Usually not: Some patients who have tee have loud murmurs. Sometimes the patient can hear this murmur as the turbulent blood rushes up the neck. Discuss this with your doctor(s).
