Pulsations in ear: If the pulsating sensation in the ear is recent and related to the sinus pressure in your head and cold symptoms, it is to be expected. A cold commonly is associated with dysfunction of the eustachian tube connecting the nose and ear. A visit to your ear nose and throat doctor will likely be helpful because prescription medications to reduce inflammation will also affect the ear pulsations.

Can B Normal: An audible pulse or whooshing sound is not uncommon. It is often a normal finding and can be due to mild compression of the temporal artery, which is located in front of the ear. This often occurs at night with a pillow. Though it can be a subtle sign of high blood pressure it is usually a benign finding. If it becomes too bothersome, you may want to consult your doctor.
