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.
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.
What if you’ve already given yourself tinnitus?
Then it is to late for us. We must live in the world we created.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
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.
The call is coming from inside your heart! Get out! Get out now!
…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. :-\
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.
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.
Only after I’ve done some kind of physical activity and then lay or sit down somewhere absolutely quiet.
I can also hear spinal fluid flow
What does spinal fluid sound like?
It’s kinda… squishy? I can hear my cerebral spinal fluid when I go for walks in quiet places. It sounds like it’s coming from the back/bottom of your head, and it’s like a light rushing fluid sound, swishing with each step.
Mine sounds like a rainstick that also has a bit of water in it.
Can confirm. Like bubbly water being squeezed through a thin tube. As a kid, I thought it was air bubbles farting their way through a narrow blood vessel.
Oh my god
I would help this guy describe the sensation as a “squelch”.
I also used to hear my heartbeat in my ears pretty much all the time and at 18 had “the blood pressure or an 80-year old woman” but since I went wheat and dairy free I’ve none of that.
“Gluten-free” isn’t just a Karen fad. I used to very much believe so, until I read about NCGS and tried an GFCF diet. (Gluten free casein free.) I also avoid all wheat derived products, some of which are labeled as gluten-free. It’s a bitch to hunt down basic ham because most of it here in Europe is processed with dextrose made from wheat, whereas in the US, they also use dextrose but it’s derived from corn.
I’ve been able to hear that too, for as long as I can remember. I don’t think that’s necessarily anything unusual when you’re the type of person who can hear earthworms cough. It sounds different at different times, like if I’m stressed or dehydrated.
There’s really a lot you can hear if it’s quiet and you pay attention. Eyes opening and closing, eyeballs moving, joints moving (neck and spine sounds different than knees and elbows), muscles contracting (different ones sound different).
It’s common, but you may also want to check your blood pressure, too. Could be a sign of elevated blood pressure.
Or impacted earwax.
Good point
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.
