Check w/ your ENT: But most likely you are hearing a spasm of your stapedius muscle in your ear. This tiny muscle contracting can cause your ear bones and ear drum to tremor, which might sound like thumping or a drum beating. It is generally not a problem or sign of any serious issues. R best wishes.

Pulsatile Tinnitus: A thumping sound in the hear usually stems from noise made by surrounding blood vessels. This noise does not require treatment but you should visit your md to make sure a serious condition is not impacting your hearing.
