"The HUM", a persistent Low Frequency Noise

I won't bore you with more personal issues of health but this is yet another oversight by my GP's over the years. I've visited with vertigo and dizzy spells as well as the swooshing noises and all they have done is prescribe medications for infection and allergies.- even after looking into my ears! Hence why I recommend a visit to a clinic that specialises in removing wax or asking GP to directly look for obstruction. I don't have any trust in modern 'prescription' based medicine anymore.

Thank you for the response. I hear you loud and clear. Some of these things are so basic, but they don't get done. Cerumen (ear wax) can be a huge problem. I once was told at my audiology center that they could not remove it because 'it wasn't covered by my insurance' What?
In reality though, your GPs should have suggested that you see an audiologist. Shame on them.
Glad you got it done. And, I'm guessing that it's something you will have to do on a regular basis.
Thank you for sharing this. People need to hear about these experiences. I sincerely hope that you will regain trust in your providers.
