Sudden blank feeling in ear
I sometimes suddenly feel a very low whistle type sound passing from one side of the ear to other. It is very uncomfortable. I have cervical spondolytis and have pain in the neck muscles. Also i feel pulling and tightness in my ear sometimes. What is the reason? Do i have some ear problem. I have a habit of sleeping with earphone on. Can that cause instant hearing loss or ear problem

Yes it is dangerous to sleep with a high volume sound as it will damage hearing sensation in long run. Even during sleep hearing can become damaged leading to ringing sounds as it is related to Neurotransmitter released by high sound levels.
