Whooshing or pulse sound in ear?

Question

I've been hearing a whooshing sound or pulse in my right ear for about 3 days now, it's very aggravating and I was wondering if maybe if it was a pregnancy symptom?  I have never experienced anything like this, and was wondering if it was happening to anyone else?

Answer

I have the same thing!!! It sounds like my pulse. It drives me insane!! I have no idea what it is

Answer

It's called pulsatile tinnitus. I have this and I thought I had wax build up in my right ear, so I went to see an ENT & was devastated when they told me I had ZERO wax build up. I was so sure I would be leaving that appointment with much needed relief. I had a hearing test done and everything, hearing is perfectly normal. He said it's a common pregnancy symptom. I was diagnosed at 13 weeks. I am now 24 weeks and it's still there. I will say, it has subsided a bit & comes/goes more often now, than just being there and driving me crazy. Doc also said it can last up until we give birth. 😔

Answer

It's pulsatae tinitus- 
our blood pressure and blood volume increase over pregnancy, and that can swell or push an artery close to the eardrum. That's why you can hear it sometimes (like when you lie down on that side, or exercise) more than others. Hopefully, it goes away after birth. I have been dealing with mine for months!

Answer

I get it all the time too but in my left ear, it's really strange and I'm always wondering what it is too

Answer

I have the same issue. Dr said its correlated to the increased blood flow. However, it is so annoying! I adjust myself all night to a position where I can't hear it lol.
