Not all the time but occasionally in quiet moments I can hear a pulsing in my ear that matches my heartbeat. Been able to hear it since I was a child. Mostly it’s localised to one ear and generally it will quieten/ stop after a short while.

    Uhhhh idk it off the top of my head, I’ve had medical check ups recently where they took it. They didn’t feel the need to mention it to me. I also had hearing tests done and I’m able to hear all of the inputs they test for. Afterwards the doctors always bring up my hearing.

      yes i used to, i would actually hear the bloodflow in the ear as pulsing. i stopped hearing at some point. according to a former ENT i was with, he said it happens if your carotid artery is quite large.

      i suspect it had to do with my severe nasal allergies causing inflammation, inflammation cause blood vessels to dilate and flow larger volumes.
