Fast thumping in left ear for a few seconds. no other symptoms. i was just doing my hw, and it scared me. my ear was hurting this morning a bit? scary
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eustachian tube: Dysfunction. This tiny tube leads from the middle ear behind eardrum to posterior pharynx and serves to equalize pressure in middle ear. If blocked partially, movement of eardrum and thumping will occur as pressure changes occur. Decongestants will help. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
