Whooshing In Ear Along Heartbeat, Feeling Heart Beat After Flu Shot. Reason?
I have always had a whoosing in My ear that goes along with my heartbeat, I have had a prosthetic put in my ear 4 years ago, because it had little to no hearing. Now the other day just after my flu shot I have been hearing My heart Beat full bore in that ear, The thumping and I feel it also, It's driving Me insane. Did it have something to do with the flu shot, I don't know what to think am I am scared.

Hi , it appears that you have the whoosing in the ear. It might be due to the mis placed or change in structure of the prosthetic. Now probably due to the flu symptoms after the flu shot, you might be getting the symptoms little more.
I advise you to consult an E.N.T. surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have an M.R.I for confirmation. Thank you.
