I can hear my heart/pulse in my right ear. Quite loud -- I have to have a fan on at night or I can't sleep. Have had for 3 mos. or so now. Does anyone know what this might be?

is everything much louder in that ear? or is it just that you hear your pulse? i'm being driven mad by a similar problem that comes and goes. in both ears. everything gets loud all of a sudden. i can hear every step i take, i can hear my own voice inside my head and my pulse etc. it had me to the point of tears on one occasion when it didn't go away for days. i was told by the doctor that i have a slightly misshapen eardrum (he didn't use the word misshapen, he used another word but i cant remember) so sounds are distorted and seem louder than they are etc. it only happens when i have cataarh buildup though so i was told to take decongestants when it occurs. the problem seems to have subsided for the minute, but i've had it on and off for months.

i had that a lot when i tried to get to sleep... left ear tho, when does it actually happen? usually the time can help, i think that your hearing has gone "wonky" and your hearing some things from outside and some from inside your body. possibly though.

Re: Hearing pulse beat in the ear.
The hearing of your heartbeat in one ear could possibly be pulsatile tinnitus, caused by turbulent flow through the carotid artery or internal jugular vein. i suggest a visit to ENT (ear, nose and throat doctor).

hearing pulse
I have heard patients complain of this when they had really high blood pressures- almost at impending stroke levels- check out your BP- consistently-

just had a double bypass 4 weeks ago
I am hearing my heart beat in my ears with some dizzyness. Iam takeing lopressor half tablets once daily. my bp was 128/77 and the bph was 72. I only take the lopressor when my bp is high like it is now. I dont take lopressor when my bp is 80/65 because i am afraid to take the lopressor when my bp is low.Ican turn my head an not be able to hear my heart beat but when I hold my head in acertian ways i can hear my heart beat again. why is this happening?

bypass- hear heart beat
Did you hear the heart beat in your ears before the bypass also? Make sure your BP machine is accurate. Have you had your carotid arteries checked- to see if there is any blockage there?

Pulsative Tinnitus
NurseJane,

I have had this for over three years and i don't have high blood pressure.Its caused by the tubes in the ears being blocked constantly. We live a mile and one half above sea level almost in the clouds. The weather systems irritates mine also pollens and allergies. Most of the year I really don't have to much of an issue. Please please please don't put this stuff about high blood pressure online, it will scare tbe beegeebees out of someone that takes it to be what is wrong with them.

I can hear my pulse in my ear
I can hear my pulse in my right ear almost 24/7 for the past 3 weeks. I am peri-menopausal and thought this might be a symptom of that as it came on very suddenly and only gives me sporadic relief. But my ears do feel blocked and decongestants do help a little bit but not 100%. I live in New England and it is a season change here right now. I work in a medical environment and have checked my bp and it is perfect and so is my pulse. I had never heard of pulsative tinnitus but sure do feel a bit more relieved now. Thought about flushing my ears in case there is a blockage of wax in there as well creating pressure.
