Hearing issue

I have used an ear wax softener on two alternate days this weekend. In between I irrigated with a bulb syringe and some luke warn water. This seemed to lessen the turbulence noise but not completely eliminate it.

Today I took Zd542's advice regarding equalizing pressure. This has eliminated the muffled sound of my own voice. I will not know if it did anything for the circulation sound until I retire for the night.

I do have sinus and allergy issues. The Great Smoky Mountain region where I reside is the airborne antigen capital of the U.S. If you Google this problem the causes are many from minor to very serious. I have a Dr. appointment scheduled for next week.

I wouldn't do the equalization thing without consulting your doctor first.

Ear wax removal kits contain an ear wax softner and a bulb syringe for iirigation,this is safe and effective.
Charles,

It's likely your respiratory system around your middle ears and sinuses,. etc. I can experience similar pusatile sensations deep in my ears during and after heavy activity in hot weather with allergies acting up. It's worse leaning forward and laying on my side.

The nearby arterial heartbeat pressure sounds may increase if your middle ears have excess fluid pressure that's not draining through your eustachian tubes. You may need to port those sub's with a decongestant after a medical exam ! Squish, squish squish...hope your much better soon.

As the fluid builds up around your ears it can amplify the sound of your heartbeat. You can get the same results from inverting yourself so even a subtle buildup of pressure while trying to sleep can make your heartbeat all the more noticeable and annoying.

I had an ear infection that led to a bursting of my inner ear drum which leaked the infection onto my pillow (eech!) The infection came on late one afternoon at work so I went to the doctor who thought I was high on something because my equilibrium was off which made me very shaky. It wasn't until the doctor took a look in my ear that she put me on antibiotics (oral and eardrops) but it was too late. Right before the bursting of the eardrum there was that rushing sound you spoke of that sounded like a jet was taking off and then boom, leaking ear.

It had no lasting effect but it's something I wouldn't want to go through again so take the advice given here and use that ear wax removal kit regularly and good luck on your doctors visit.

All the best,
