A member asked:
Left ear has lost the ability to hear outside noise and gained the ability to hear a constant stream of white noise, what could be the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most common cause of sudden hearing loss in your age category would be impaction of ear canal with wax. This can cause some whooshing noise in the ear also. Easiest thing to do would be to see your doctor for ear exam. Washing out the wax can solve the problem easily.
