Pulsatile Tinnitus: ... Is the fancy medical word for hearing your own blood. Think about it ... Your ear is a delicate, very sensitive organ that detects sound. The movement of your blood cells through blood vessels in your ear makes sound. It's actually surprising that more people don't experience this. Most of us "tune it out" and don't notice it. Why you do at certain times is a not dangerous mystery. Luck!

Usually normal: Usually normal. If becoming progressively worse, may signal a medical problem. If so, see ENT doc for assessment.

Why would I hear a humming sound in my ears? Is that tinnitus or just my blood flowing?
I can hear rush of blood and my heart beating loudly in my left ear. Notice heart beat sounds stop or greatly diminish when lifting legs. What is this? Why getting louder and is affected by body movements?
I press my neck and hear blood flow in left ear, not pulsating.Not in my right. Though my right ear bruises up with sound. Afraid of some blood cloth.
When i get home from third shift in the morning i hear a slight rushing sound in my head. Not other times. Big deal? Blood pressure related?
