If you\u2019ve ever noticed a rhythmic \u201cwhooshing\u201d or heartbeat-like sound in your ears, you\u2019re not alone\u2014and it\u2019s something you shouldn\u2019t ignore. While occasional ringing or buzzing after a loud concert or shout is common, persistent or pulsating sounds can signal something more serious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Experts say that about one in three people<\/strong> experience what\u2019s known as pulsatile tinnitus (PT)<\/strong>\u2014a condition where you hear steady or rhythmic sounds like ringing, buzzing, hissing, or even a heartbeat in your ears. These noises can come and go or persist, and they often get louder when your heart rate rises, like during exercise or stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Ahmed Abd Elbary (@Dra_says on TikTok) explains that while PT is usually harmless, sometimes it can indicate underlying issues. \u201cYour blood flow can become more turbulent, and the most common causes are aneurysms or atherosclerosis\u2014when arteries narrow,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Abd Elbary adds that localized increases in blood flow, often caused by tumors, can also trigger these sensations. \u201cMost tumors are benign, but it\u2019s still important to get checked,\u201d he warns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So what causes that heartbeat sound? Most often, it\u2019s a change in blood flow or heightened awareness of tiny vessels in the ear<\/strong>. Certain factors can make PT more noticeable, including exercise, pregnancy, an overactive thyroid, or anemia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Continue reading on next page…<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n While many cases of PT resolve on their own, persistent or worsening symptoms deserve a professional evaluation<\/strong>. A doctor can rule out serious causes and provide guidance to manage the condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you or someone you know is experiencing these pulsating ear sounds, don\u2019t ignore them. Get checked, stay informed, and protect your health.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Have you ever experienced pulsatile tinnitus?
