A member asked:
Is there a reason why i am hearing my heartbeat in my ear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Conductive?: The carotid artery and jugular vein travel in close proximity to your inner ear. When the conduction mechanism bringing sound from outside to your inner ear is impaired, the internal sounds, such as your heartbeat, gets amplified. Thus, you hear your heartbeat.
