Okay, I know this sounds ridiculous, but on two occasions now I swear I heard a noise in my ear that sounds like a very large moth flapping its wings or a small bird flapping its wings. It only lasts a couple seconds, but it is real enough that I start batting at the side of my head thinking a small moth has flown into my ear canal.
Here's the stranger part . . . it happened about a month ago on my left side which I just shrugged off as the beginning of some weird tinnitus. I have a very tiny 2.5 mm AN that obviously is being watched. The second time it happened it was my right ear. Same thing . . . started batting at my ear thinking something had flown in there. I was going to shrug it off, but then I remembered, "Hey, that's the good ear!" I have never had any perceived hearing loss and only some slight symptoms of facial tingling/numbness, earache and sore throat. In fact, all my symptoms seem to have subsided compared to a couple months ago - all except this wings flapping business.
Both these episodes happened when I was just sitting at my desk at home with the windows closed and no signs of insects in sight. Has anyone else heard wings beating in their ears? If not, I'm going to chalk it up to perimenopausal symptoms. If I can't find a reason for something by body is doing, I blame my hormones.
