What Causes Heartbeat Feeling In Ear?
Am having that heartbeat feeling in my left ear. Someone said a couple drops of peroxide - no luck. Someone said sweet oil to soften a rigid ear drum - no luck....It pulsates all day and night. Harder when I exert myself as well. Very seldom stops for a few seconds only when it does.

Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM
Dear it is called vascular tinnitus caused by hypertension or glomus tumor or carotid artery atherosclerosis or aneurysm or intracranial vessels or glue ear etc.. Until examined very difficult to tell what is the cause. Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions please feel free to ask.
