I had a thumping sound in my left ear for 2 years. It was sporadic, not my heart beat. I read where low iron could be the cause, but iron supplements didn’t help. It wasn’t until I started taking B12 that the thumping finally went away.

Willows--my thumping also gets louder when Im active. How long have you had the thumping in your ear? Also, has it settled down at all since it originally began?

Gary, the thumping began a few years ago. It eventually morphed into an even noise with a lot less thumping. It took about a year for the thumping to diminish in this way then one day it was just gone but replaced by a low steady rumbling that also gets worse when I move about. I have other sounds as well. They are mostly in my head but I hear them in my ears. Hope yours just goes away but it does seam to take patience.
I've had ringing in left ear for years. Over time I had gotten to the point where the ringing doesnt even bother me. But recently the same ear developed a fast and steady thumping. The thumping never stops and is way too fast to be my heartbeat. When I plug my ear and eliminate outside noise my ringing has always gotten louder. But when I plug my ear now the thumping quiets down. The doctor at the walk in clinic dxd me with Eusthachian Tube Dysfunction. He prescribed a decongestant and said in a few days the my tube should clear up and the thumping should go away. It's been a few days and there are no changes. I think he was wrong. Does anyone here have similiar thumping thats fast and steady?
Suffering from the same thumping sound as you described, especially when I am about to go to sleep or sleeping, and sometimes just as I wake up. Usually, my ears feel full and clogged when it happens. I wish someone had some concrete answers.
I have pulsatile tinnitus. I went to the ENT, also had a hearing test and MRI all were normal. I have had this in my left ear about a year now, I think. Especially at night going to bed. If there is noise I do not notice it. Yes does drive me crazy sometimes but at night. I guess it is here to stay. Mine is a swishing sound.Good luck to all and see an ENT it does not hurt!!
About 2 weeks ago I noticed the same thing in my right ear. I hear it more when I just wake up. It’s isolated in my right ear. It’s not rhythmic, more sporadic and fast so it’s not linked to my pulse. When I fully plug my ear it goes away, maybe because of the pressure.
I find the thumping, swishing noise in my one ear maddening. I try very hard to relax when it starts and try to focus on reading material and sometimes that seems to help. I'm hoping to have further testing done when I return to Mayo in the future. I don't think it is connected to my Meniere's diagnosis because I remember the first time the noise ever happened and it was about 50 years ago! Disappeared for eons then started again years later with additional frequency. Am sorry that I have no answer for you but I can certainly understand your dismay.
Could be Mucus, I have it now & then from Nasal drip, trapped in my Euthesian tube, which Eye, Ears & Throat are all connected, go to an ENT, to ease your mind..

3 ReactionsB12--Thank you for your response. I am seeing an audiologist this Thursday and will mention B12.
I also have that. Whenever I move about the tinnitus is louder. Makes it hard to get any exercise.

1 ReactionYou can get stents to relieve the issue. Just search for Athos Patsalides and pulsatile tinnitus.
