It occurs about 2-3 times a month and other times not at all.is there a name for it? Could it be something serious? Please help.

If by hissing u mean a swoosh swoosh kinda sound...then get ur lipid profile done...it might point to atherosclerosis...now affecting ur vertebral artery probably...if u dont feel any symptom of giddiness, vertigo then get an X ray of ur cervical spine...it can be a pressing cervical vertebrate too due to spondylisthesis...
