A stroke is an acute neurologic injury where the blood supply to a part of the brain is interrupted, either by a clot in the artery or if the artery bursts. The brain perfused by that artery no longer receiving oxygen carried by the blood and dying with cessation of function from that part of the brain.

I did not have ringing but i went deaf in one ear all of a sudden. I went to an ENT and he put me on steroids for 10 days. Next thing i knew I could hear normally again. I suggest you see an ENT. He can get the proper testing to rule out most causes. He did order a MRI for me and it came back fine. He believes it was just a coincidence that I had a stroke but detrermined that I probally had a virus. Good Luck case)

I've noticed that it increases when I have caffiene or i.e. when my blood pressure rises. That could be it.

You know, sitting here and thinking about it, I used to have this "whooshing" sound in my right ear whenever I coughed or sneezed.

I have undergone six embolization procedures to fix an AVM. Basically they shoot a medical-grade super-glue like polymer in to fill up the arteries and veins, making a dam.

I sneezed after one of the procedures and noticed I didn't hear the whooshing sound anymore! So perhaps there was a vessel or artery close to something to do with hearing, or maybe even the ear itself...

As a follow-up, I've noticed I get it whenever I've done any type of physical activity, such as walking from the car into my office. Maybe it IS always there and I just got used to it but it seems to fade over time as the day goes on.
