I am 26 years old and am pregnant with my third child. I have had this swooshing (goes with my heartbeat) sound in my left ear since before i became pregnant. It seems that the pregnancy has made the sound extremely loud, hard, and increases with any exertion. I sometimes feel the left side of my head/behind my left eye throbbing. I get major headaches time to time in the very center of the back of my head to behind both of my ears. I have had some vision changes and black-outs, although my ob says these can be due to the pregnancy and lack of enough water or vitamin/minerals. I hear the noise best when I lay on my left side or if there is no noises to be heard. I have found that my heart has been fluttering in my chest from time to time recently. I do plan on seeing my dr soon. I just wanted to see what others had to say.

I am 14 and have the same wooshing sound In my right ear. I am prity shure I know what it is. It's stress. The reason I think this is because I've had problems the last few years with my dad and family. Between devorces and my mom's side of the family not talking to her eny more it's all been prity hard on me. This is when the whooshing started and has been on and off sence. I was informed by my brother that my mom had started drinking agen Imeedetly the whooshing started. I got online finely to see if it was something to worry about and when I herd it was somthing I shouldent worry about. the wooshing got quieter. I'm not a pro but that's what I think.

i've recently been stressed out by my boyfriend commiting aggravated assault against me and he has been in jail for 7 days. i've had this heartbeat feeling/sound in my left ear for about 3. i feel like it might be stress that causes this because the last time i had it was in highschool when i had just moved here 4 days before 9th grade started and my mom took me to a therapist and when i explained my ear heartbeat thing she prescribed me with lithium and depakote like i was a total psycho.

I have been following all the posts because I have the same loud heart beat in my right ear that stops me sleeping at night. After reading all the blogs I felt sure I had something really wrong. Anyhow I went to my doctor today and she checked inside my ear. She saw an opaque kind of covering over my ear drum and she could see fluid on my ear drum. She told me that there isn't a lot can be done and that this can come and go. The Doctor has prescribed me an antibiotic nose spray to clear the ear canal which may help. I am also scheduled to see an ENT specialist who can if they think it's necessary, pierce a small hole in the ear drum to drain the fluid. Hopefully this will answer alot of the questions as to what it can be.

I have THE ANSWER!!! I had the same problem with hearing my pulse in my ear; especially noticeable at night while trying to sleep. ENT doctors were worthless, telling me I'd have to just live with it. A Chiropractor of all people, gave me an adjustment to my neck, and I could hear a lot better in my ear. I went from not being able to tell if someone on the phone was male/female or what they were saying, to knowing exactly who the person was and what they were saying, but the volume was lower in the ear with the sound, after just one adjustment from Dr. Toy in Lawton, OK. (A Logan graduate, so I'd recommend you find another old school Logan grad in your area). After a few more adjustments, the noise finally went away a few months later. Got my hearing tested recently for work, and the left ear was just slightly worse than the right, but I can hear better than most people now. The noise is gone, and all those ENT docs need to go back to school.I had an artery out of place. Easy adjustment. No surgery. People think Chiropractors are quacks, but you need one for this heartbeat in the ear issue.

Hi blucas1,
May I ask what your ear noise was like? Did it sound like a wa, wa, wa to the beat of your pulse...almost like blood pushing through a narrow opening? I have had this for 8 months now on my right side. I know it is vascular and going to the ENT was pointless. NO doctor can hear the noise... they have all tried listening with a stethoscope to my head in every place in every position but to no avail. I'm thinking that I may have a compressed vein from my neck atlas because when I turn my head I hear a squishing noise. Thinking now that I should see the chiro.

Hi Dave,
I was wondering if the noise you heard was constant even during the day. I hear this wa, wa, wa sound at night (sometimes it wakes me up) and in the morning. Also when I get out of bed, I feel a rushing by the ear on the affected side and then it goes away and I don't hear the noise during the day (even when it's completely quiet). I'm wondering if it is a DAVF, would I hear the sound constantly. Or if it could just be a narrowed vein that makes noise when my blood pressure is low (at night and morning) and goes away during the day (when blood pressure is higher and pushes the vein open). Did you hear it more when you exercised? Thanks for any info you care to share.

When I lay on my right ear, I hear a "beating" but not necessarily rhythmic. It wakes me up! I had the thought last night that it could be a bug and in that case, I freaked out and got up! I really want someone to look in my ear and tell me there is not a bug in there! But, if it isn't a bug, then what is it? So, annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been dealing with this heart beat sensation for years. I'm 28yr old male, it great health.
Only use to bother me when I was trying to sleep and I pressed my ear against the pillow. Today was the first day where my ears were going off the hook at work (I'm not stressed at all either).
Pretty sure I need to grin it and bare it unless it drives me totally nuts, which it might if it doesn't stop soon.

Hi All,
I too started having the swooshing noises in my right ear for about few months. I waited for it to go away but it only got louder..
NOW, this is something I have no read on any forums about making the noise go away after the following:
**the swooshing noise goes away for 5-10seconds if I push my right ear forward for few seconds and let go.
**the swooshing noise also goes away after few violent coughs, but after few seconds of slience the swooshing noise comes back..
Has anyone noticed this with their swooshing nosies..

I have had this same problem sometimes when i get up from a chair it last for about a minute or so. When it's hapenning my hearing is less, like I have an ear plug in my ears, then the hearing goes back to normal when it starts to go away. This has happened on an off for the last 5 years or so, but lately has been back to bother me. Like you, would like to know if this a serious problem or what I can do to fix this.

Have your MD place his stethescope behind your ear and if he can hear the heart beat it is most likely you have a DAVF. Please see a neuroradiologist. I said NO to neurosurgeon but it was not as bad as it sounded. It is common in women and is common procedure done
