Drumming noise in ear could it be from an insect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely not. : It is more likely pulsatile tinnitus. It is essentially caused from "hearing" your heartbeat in your ear. This may be due to high blood pressure or congenital malformations. Please see your primary care provider to have it checked. That can also look in the ear canal to make sure it is not a "bug".
