A member asked:

I hear my heart beating in my ears, what does that mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Calvin Weisberger answered

Heart beat : If a swooshing sound is heard, usually this means turbulent bood flow. If you are actually hearing heart tones, this may mean bone conduction of sound to the ears.
