Question 1

what causes a roaring noise in my ear (left) that sounds like my heartbeat?

Accepted Answer

Turbulent flow: More than likely you are hearing your external carotid artery.  Flow in this artery often causesa roaring in the ear on the affected side.  On ocassion, this artery may have to be ligated to stop this if unbearable.  See an ENT or cv surgeion if not your pcp and get evaluated.  You may need hearing eval as well.

Ear: Ear pain is often a sign of inflammation.  The loud roaring sound is known as "tinnitus", and is the normal ear's response to a sudden change in hearing.  I recommend you see an otolaryngologist (ent).

Question 5

at ~1yr my son was ~1m from front of a car when it honked. now at 2-1/2yrs he hears 'roaring' in his ears. could 1 brief honk have damaged his ears?

Accepted Answer

It is unllikely: that the noise from an automobile horn could have done anything more than scare your boy!! Discuss his symptoms with your Family physician or the boy's Pediatrician!
Hope this is helpful!

Accepted Answer

Check out this link: Unfortunately, there's no cure for tinnitus. However, fortunately it's not a fatal condition. Consider seeing an ENT specialist esp. If it's accompanied by hearing loss, dizziness, headache, passing out etc. Perhaps exposure to loud or soft. Constant noise at your workplace or noise may have contributed to your condition.
