Not all the time but occasionally in quiet moments I can hear a pulsing in my ear that matches my heartbeat. Been able to hear it since I was a child. Mostly it’s localised to one ear and generally it will quieten/ stop after a short while.
Nope.
Maybe the rush sound you hear is this?

It started recently. I think I injured that ear. I dislike the noise.
I can at times; particularly when stressed. It used to be a nearly constant thing, but that’s since improved with stress management, therapy, and diet changes. Seriously, people underestimate how strongly stress and anxiety can affect you physically.
All I hear in a quiet room is my tinnitus
Most people can when someplace really quiet. You can prevent that by giving yourself tinnitus but I don’t recommend it.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
What if you’ve already given yourself tinnitus?
Then it is to late for us. We must live in the world we created.
The call is coming from inside your heart! Get out! Get out now!
Once upon a time it happened. And it was a consequence of stomach bleeding… Not much good…
I still hear it sometimes, but that’s when I have severe shortness of breath and high blood pressure.
…Especially when I’m really stoned. 💪
Sometimes I hear my office chair squeaking due to my heartbeat.
That can be ranging from totally normal to “fuck fuck fuck get your ass to a doctor right now!”
The bed also squeaks sometimes due to the heartbeat.
I did a routine check up not long ago and it seems fine in my case.
Yes
Can’t hear it over the ringing. :-\
The search term you want is “pulsatile tinnitus.” Many people hear it when our heart is pounding, in my case it was one of several symptoms that led to realizing I was very anemic. It can have serious causes like high blood pressure or a tumor, or more minor ones like sinus congestion or even just an individual difference of your inner ear. An otolaryngologist (ENT or Ear-Nose-Throat doctor) can help determine if there’s anything to treat or worry about. But nobody is going to look for it unless you bring it up.
I had this and it was sinus congestion.
It happened to me for during a couple of days last week that I could hear my own heartbeat whenever it was quiet.
No idea why and it’s gone now.
Only after I’ve done some kind of physical activity and then lay or sit down somewhere absolutely quiet.
Yep :3… can be annoying when im trying to sleep
Mmm I used to be scared that it was the sound of the iron giant marching towards me as a kid
When I was a kid, I thought it must be dust mites marching across my pillow.
But he’s a friend…
Bruh I think I was too young when I watched it. As a kid what I got out of it was “holy shit there’s a big ass scary robot that can kill everyone on earth”
I very much did not understand the film lol
Kid you was literally the villain of the movie lmao
The villains always have a point and then they are written to enjoy killing innocent people for no reason. Child me was willing to overlook this.
I still need to watch that movie tbh :3… it’s one I somehow missed
Yes! Exactly the same. I can only hear it when laying down, mostly at night only when trying to sleep. If I sit or stand up I can’t hear it anymore. Not every night but I sure hear it often.
It does make sleeping harder.
