Pulsatile tinnitus: Hearing one's own pulse or blood flow sound (often a swishing sound) is called pulsatile tinnitus. It's always loudest when the heart is beating strongly or with higher blood pressure, which goes along with fear, pain, anxiety, etc. It usually is due to a bend in an artery in the area and is harmless. But discuss with a doctor if you remain concerned.
