At last!
Until maybe three years ago I had a similar thing: I would be drifting off to sleep (possibly asleep already - couldn't really tell) and I'd enter a slightly different state of consciousness, where it would feel as if I was still awake, and be aware of this rushing sound in my ears. It was so loud that it was unavoidable and deafening - and really, really frightening. I couldn't even use my usual trick of waking up from dreams to get out of it.

As far as I can remember, it just stopped. You're the first person I've ever encountered who had anything similar. Hurrah!

It's nice to know I'm not the only one :D
My dad used to suffer from it too he told me, mostly when they changed his shifts.
