Thumping to sound in opposite ear
This is super strange to me. I have intermittent pulsatile tinnitus. I have been to my ENT and a couple of MRIs completed. No cause deter.ined. I also had sensorineural hearing loss in both eats (right worse than left), but latest hearing test shows this has mostly resolved. What I'm experiencing now is very different. If I have my earbud in my RIGHT ear, even turned very low, I can hear thumping in my LEFT ear with every syllable/sound. I often wear my earbuds in one ear only, but switch ears frequently. I listen to things at a reasonable volume, and notice this even if I turn the volume down to the point that I can barely hear. This thumping only seems to happen if the earbud is in my RIGHT ear, causing thumping in my LEFT. Thoughts?

My kid had pulsatile tinnitus and it was hard to detect the fistula in her brain. She had a CT angiogram and that didn't find it so they did the old-fashioned physical angiogram through the groin up to the brain. Then she had a separate procedure to insert coils to block off the fistula- basically a malformation of blood vessel pattern in a small area in her brain.
This may not apply to you at all. She had a brain injury beforehand. But pulsatile tinnitus may need neurology or interventional radiology to make sure. Again, not sure this is relevant to you at all.
