Sounds in the right ear like a heartbeat

Question

Asked for Female, 61 Years

Since a couple of months, my mother has a problem with her right ear. She feels some whooshing sound, sometimes it's like a heartbeat thumping kind of sound. There is no pain though. Sometimes she applies vicks balm around the cheek and outer ear area, since she assumes it could be because of cold. It feels better for a while but starts again.. This has turned frequent now. What could it be?
