I got my mechanical heart valve 20 years ago and I have the thumping sound. I have gotten use to it over the years and I sleep on my left side/ear which helps.

Thank you for the reply. My left side used to be the dominant side I slept on, now it’s the hardest side to sleep on due to the loud and strong pounding of the valve doing its thing. So I’m learning to sleep on my right and back sides. I hope, like you, that in time I will get used
the mechanical valve.
