The sound of my heart beating is very loud in my right ear when I lay down, exercise or bend over.
I too can hear my heat beat in both ears. Also most noticeably after excersise or stressed out about something. It comes and goes for me.
Also, I don't know if this is related, but I also had fluid behind my ear drums a couple years ago. I couldn't hear properly for months (about 5). I felt like I was living underwater in a fish bowl. Finally I saw an ear specialist who lanced (a tiny incision) through the membrane which allowed the fluid to drain out immediately. It was a miracle! I could hear again!. An uncomfortable situation resolved immediately. Wish I had known sooner. Anyway, he also installed 2 tiny tubes into my ears, which would eventually fall out 10-12 months later. (supposed to fall out).
But then, this whole scenario happened to me again about 2 years later (this winter).  I couldn't believe it! I saw the ear specialist again. Had ex-rays taken. (*Both my parents had to get some cartilage or whatever it's called up in their nose's drilled so they could breath better) I apparently didn't have the same problem. So what was it? He said the nasal passage to the ear canal wasn't working properly. No longer doing it's job. Need to get permanent tubes. So I booked the appointment and left. Hhmmm....
But then I started thinking about this...  I didn't feel comfortable with the idea that I needed to get permanent tubes. Why was this happening to me?  Is there something else I could do to get the nasal passage to work properly besides permanent tubes?  I don't know. But what I did know is I wasn't ready to settle for something so permanent. Not just yet anyway. I'm in my early 50's, too young to get anything permanent (I think). I have a few other health issues I wasn't quite ready to roll over on yet either, so I elected to see a Naturopath. Who by the way was ridiculously expensive! But he did deem me curable.(Prolly not the word he would use) but I found myself taking 15 natural pills a day. (I hate taking pills!) My Naturopath was certain the ear/nasal problem would clear up on the program he put me on. And low and behold It cleared up and I was feeling better within weeks.  I admit I stopped the pills after about a month as too expensive. I will try to make healthier choices. (He was treating me for a number of things) I wonder if the ear issue will come back next winter too? (seems to be when they start)  Time will tell.
FYI: My sinus' are still stuffed up.

Anyone else out there with similar issue?
