Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It seems to be tinnitus like problem. But further work up done in form of audiometry, tympanogram, OAE like testing. Rule out hypertension, thyroid problem, CBC etc. Check ear by Otoscopy ear examination which will help in rule out impacted wax or infection if present
Hope I have answered your query.
