Hi all, I have a really annoying ear problem and looking for any words of wisdom. It's a kind of rustling noise which started in 1 ear and appears to have spread to both ears. it really does sound like rustling sweet papers. It is intermittent and completely independent of anything I'm doing. I can be lying still and it starts, equally I can be busy talking and it happens. It's rather weird and I haven't experienced anything like it before. No pain or other sensation and I otherwise feel fine. A nurse colleague had a look in my ear and she says nothing to see. Going to have to make appointment with GP (haven't been for about a decade), but wondered if anybody had any ideas. If I didn't know better I'd think there was something alive in there. Slowly going crazy here :-(
