I have had this. This is most likely an allergic reaction to something in your environment or even a certain food. And believe it or not it could be a yeast infection. When you itch with your finger see if there is a trace of white stuff on it. This is your confirmation. Try to identify when and where the itchiness happens and eliminate it from your diet or surroundings. I know the whooshing sound you talk about too- this is blood flow. There may be some swelling. Take a whole garlic clove- peel it and stick it in your ear like an ear plug. Sounds weird but it is very soothing and will help. If you have acsess to a natural foods store, get some Mullein and Garlic oil and drop that in your ear. It may not cure but is a sure relief. If you have a hole in your eardrum you should not put any drops in your ear at all. Good luck
