Ear noise
Hi there, I'm so relieved to find this thread. I have terrible heartbeat noises in my right ear and have been to my 3rd specialist today. The low down is that in one of my many millions of arteries near my ear, the blood flow is turbulent causing me to hear this. There is no cure - the specialist talked me through quite how many layers of skull, brain and everything else he'd have to go through to block it off and even then how would he locate the exact artery that was causing the noise? I came away very depressed. I now have to somehow live with the noise. At the moment I don't sleep because it keeps me awake and I have been on sleeping pills for just over a week, since it started happening at night. It's just reassuring to know I'm not the only one. I think a fan at night might be the way forward, anything to stop me hearing the heartbeat.
