I can hear my heart beat through my ear, why is that?

Unless it's not just the normal sound of pulsating in your ear (you must be really having some quiet time to hear it), your ear canal may have inflamation due to irritation or infection causing the sound to be more prevalent. If it persists with pain or worries you, have it checked out. Otherwise, calm down and get some good music to listen to(so you can't hear the normal sound of your body).

Having the sensation of "skipped" or "extra" heart beats is quite common. To start, check your pulse for a full minute either at your wrist or neck. Usually you can tell if your heart rate is regular or if there are extra beats suddenly appearing. Sometimes it is a good idea for someone else to check for you as well (ie a "second opinion").\n\nHaving occasional "premature atrial contractions" is also quite common - these will give the sensation of either an extra beat or a skipped beat. \n\nIf these sensations continue or are impeding your daily functioning it is probably a good idea to go see your physician as an abnormal heart rhythm can be very serious.

I presume that you are speaking of tinnitus.  I was diagnosed with it, and am receiving 10% because of it.  If you have it (read: diagnosed that it was due to military service), put in an appeal for your current reading, or ask for a review.

I also have had them. I am also a medical student just finishing med school.  Those beats you felt are called "PVC's", which in english is a skipped heart beat. You feel it as a racing heart.  This can occur with any "stimulants" like caffine (coke, coffee, red bull), diet pills, decongestents (especially sudafed since it has pseudoephedrine (a stimulant).  \nHowever, you need to have your heart monitored by your own doctor. He will likely give you a "holter monitor" which records your heart over 24 hours.  You should also discuss with your doctor any abnormal or "sudden      s" in your family. \nHope I helped, take care

You may have PSVT which is a fast heart rate. It is very annoying and is scary when you feel it. It is treatable though. Do you drink /eat a lot of caffiene? (Cokes, tea coffee, chocolate?) Ask your doctor to put a Holter Monitor on you and see if anything shows up there. It is a 24 hour monitor you wear and it monitors your heart.  Good luck!

When you experience auditory stimulation it is airwaves moving through your ear canals. When you cover up your ears with your palms you are limiting the airwaves going through so they have to squeeze through a small space. It works very much like when you close a window on a car while you're driving down the highway.

Hm.  I'm no doctor and most of my knowledge concerns forensic and mortuary science.  Tinnitus, ringing in the ears, can actually encompass both ring and a rythymic beating sound.  This is an entirely subjective experience. Check it out on wikipedia and see if it matches what you describe: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinnitus\n\nIt may also be Bruit, similiar to Tinnitus, which is caused by the way that blood rushes past an obstruction in a blood vessel.  This can be heard by another person using a stethoscope.\n\nIt may also be a mild hallucination.  I hate to say that though.  The only thing that really gave me cause to say that is your statement that you "feel like it means something."  Hallucinations with paranoia, which is what I would consider believing an unknown stimulus to mean something, are often not good things, not at all good.\n\nGet checked out by a doctor, it's more likely to be something like tinnitus or bruit.  And when you're there make sure you describe to him/her everything that you described to the Answers community above.

I get that a lot and find it really annoying too. I usually get that noise in my ears after listening to loud music etc. If your hearing is affected then maybe ask your GP for a hearing test to check it out.

Your heart is not controlled by sound.  If you hear a particular sound and your brain interprets it in a way that makes you stressed or excited, your heart rate may go up.\n\nAn example of this would be hearing a siren right behind you when you are driving - that will make most people's heart rate increase.\n\nHeart rate is controlled by your sympathetic nervous system.

I assume you are a full-fledged adult. That pulse rate is high at rest. get to see your doctor, especially about the pain on exercise. You could be having myocardial ischemia or angina pectoris. Your doctor will have you do an EKG done to evaluate this.

It could be vertigo, I had that after an accident, it is due to the inner ear. There is medication for it.

You may be hard at hearing, have a sharp pain in your ears, and hear continuous a ringing noise. If you have any of these symptoms I suggest you see a doctor and tune down your music if at all possible.

Yes, you probably ruptured your ear drum.. or have a canal infection from scraping your ear drum, go and be seen ASAP! I just got over it.. it's nasty!

I suggest you let your doctor take a look. There may be various reasons why the pressure behind your eardrum is not equalizing properly. When your jaw moves it changes the relationship between the eardrum, the air in the cavity behind it, and outside world. The change in pressure is then sensed as a 'pop'. You may, for example, have some fluid blocking your Eustachian tube. Or you could have an ear infection. There's lots of things it might be, so your doctor is the best one to advise you.

There is a condition where you can hear your pulse in your ears, but the Ent should have found that.  The next thing that comes to mind is hearing your carotid pulse in your neck.  How old are you?  Middle -aged or more?  Talk to your regular doctor, ask hm to check your neck veins.  As we get older, we can have narrowing in the carotid arteries in the neck...this causes a 'MURMUR" or whooshing sound.  If that is ok, then ignore it.  sometimes this happens and there just is no reason found.
