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.

    Most people can when someplace really quiet. You can prevent that by giving yourself tinnitus but I don’t recommend it.

      That can be ranging from totally normal to “fuck fuck fuck get your ass to a doctor right now!”

    It happened to me for during a couple of days last week that I could hear my own heartbeat whenever it was quiet.

    No idea why and it’s gone now.

    I have an illness that can sometimes cause a big spike of adrenaline when I overdo things. I can hear it then, and it’s a sign that I need to lie down and do some kind of meditation to get my stress level down. Conversely, when I’m meditating, and get really relaxed, I can also hear it, but it’s a very different sensation.

    I’ve been able to hear that too, for as long as I can remember. I don’t think that’s necessarily anything unusual when you’re the type of person who can hear earthworms cough. It sounds different at different times, like if I’m stressed or dehydrated.

    There’s really a lot you can hear if it’s quiet and you pay attention. Eyes opening and closing, eyeballs moving, joints moving (neck and spine sounds different than knees and elbows), muscles contracting (different ones sound different).

        It’s kinda… squishy? I can hear my cerebral spinal fluid when I go for walks in quiet places. It sounds like it’s coming from the back/bottom of your head, and it’s like a light rushing fluid sound, swishing with each step.

            I would help this guy describe the sensation as a “squelch”.

            I also used to hear my heartbeat in my ears pretty much all the time and at 18 had “the blood pressure or an 80-year old woman” but since I went wheat and dairy free I’ve none of that.

            “Gluten-free” isn’t just a Karen fad. I used to very much believe so, until I read about NCGS and tried an GFCF diet. (Gluten free casein free.) I also avoid all wheat derived products, some of which are labeled as gluten-free. It’s a bitch to hunt down basic ham because most of it here in Europe is processed with dextrose made from wheat, whereas in the US, they also use dextrose but it’s derived from corn.

    It’s common, but you may also want to check your blood pressure, too. Could be a sign of elevated blood pressure.
