We all hear a whirring or “whoosh-whoosh” sound in our ears often or occasionally. This sound does not happen always, but when the surrounding environment is calm or there is peace in the place where we are present, then such a sound is heard in the ears. This sound is different from those sounds which we hear after water gets into the ears or after listening to very loud noise. For this reason, people are more troubled by this rustling or “whoosh-whoosh” sound. According to doctors, this sound can be a sign of serious danger to our health and body. Doctors have found that the main reason for these sounds could be a sign of some problem or disease related to blood circulation in the body or brain.
Relation of sound in ears with brain and blood circulation
When doctors investigated this sound in depth, they came to know that the sound you hear in the ear is actually related to the blood flowing in the blood veins and the functioning of the brain, which people often mistake for a problem of the ears. Fast or abnormal flow of blood in the veins can be the root of this problem.
What is Pulsatile Tinnitus?
If you hear rushing, whooshing, dhak-dhak or “whoosh-whoosh” sounds in your ears, you may have a problem called pulsatile tinnitus, in which a person hears a sound in the ears that is exactly like the heartbeat. This sound is not like a whistle like normal tinnitus, but is different from it and this sound is heard more clearly by the person when there is a quiet environment around or the person is lying down.
Major cause of pulsatile tinnitus
- A major cause of pulsatile tinnitus occurs when plaque, which we also call dirty matter, starts accumulating inside the nerves of the ear or neck. Due to this the veins become thin and blood does not flow properly. In such a situation, the sound of bleeding can reach the ears. This process is called atherosclerosis.
- Pulsatile tinnitus mostly occurs when there is a disturbance in the nerves around the ears or neck. When these veins are unable to bleed normally, the sound of bleeding starts reaching the ears. For this reason a person hears a sound like heartbeat.
- When blood pressure in the body becomes high or higher than normal, the problem of pulsatile tinnitus may occur because when blood flows rapidly through the carotid artery in the neck, its flow can become turbulent. Due to this turmoil, a sound like heartbeat starts reaching the ears.
- One reason for hearing sounds like rushing, whooshing, dhak-dhak or “whoosh-whoosh” in the ears could be that some kind of change is taking place in the tissue around the nerves of the body. In such a situation, the speed of blood flow changes and sometimes such sounds are produced which we can hear inside the ears.
