Have you had your BP checked?
I hear it frequently too and bp is low-normal. I can hear it when my ear is laying on a pillow, and I also hear my ear moving with the pulse against the fabric, not just hearing the pulse on its own. This will be in the middle of the night (i.e. no activity, low resting heartrate). But I can also sometimes hear it when I'm sitting upright. I hear it after doing cardio, which may be normal. The ear wiggling thing against the pillow irritates me tho because it keeps me awake and I prefer side sleeping.
Maybe I'm just a busybody and you're fine, but get a blood test for low iron if you haven't lately.
Yeah, chronically low. Technically just barely within normal, but too low to donate. I've got other things going on, and see my doc every 3-6 months (with labwork). I guess it's just normal enough to not be fiddled with now yet still annoying.
Glad you're keeping tabs on it.
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.
If a doctor didn't mention it, I would assume it's fine!
