Ask Lemmy

Nope.

Maybe the rush sound you hear is this?

Only recently I learnt the name of it myself from another lemmy comment

It started recently. I think I injured that ear. I dislike the noise.

I can at times; particularly when stressed. It used to be a nearly constant thing, but that's since improved with stress management, therapy, and diet changes. Seriously, people underestimate how strongly stress and anxiety can affect you physically.

Once upon a time it happened. And it was a consequence of stomach bleeding... Not much good...

I still hear it sometimes, but that’s when I have severe shortness of breath and high blood pressure.

…Especially when I’m really stoned. 💪

The call is coming from inside your heart! Get out! Get out now!

All I hear in a quiet room is my tinnitus

Most people can when someplace really quiet. You can prevent that by giving yourself tinnitus but I don't recommend it.

Yes

It happened to me for during a couple of days last week that I could hear my own heartbeat whenever it was quiet.

No idea why and it's gone now.

Can't hear it over the ringing. :-\

I have an illness that can sometimes cause a big spike of adrenaline when I overdo things. I can hear it then, and it's a sign that I need to lie down and do some kind of meditation to get my stress level down. Conversely, when I'm meditating, and get really relaxed, I can also hear it, but it's a very different sensation.

Yupp, I use it for a focus point when meditating:)

Only after I've done some kind of physical activity and then lay or sit down somewhere absolutely quiet.

I've been able to hear that too, for as long as I can remember. I don't think that's necessarily anything unusual when you're the type of person who can hear earthworms cough. It sounds different at different times, like if I'm stressed or dehydrated.

There's really a lot you can hear if it's quiet and you pay attention. Eyes opening and closing, eyeballs moving, joints moving (neck and spine sounds different than knees and elbows), muscles contracting (different ones sound different).

i notice it after a meal or after running.

I can also hear spinal fluid flow

I notice it when I'm dehydrated.

It's common, but you may also want to check your blood pressure, too. Could be a sign of elevated blood pressure.

Someone find Ginko

Yes I can hear it as well since tinnitus came along. I have it in both ears 24/7 and it really sucks. Be careful with your ears. I have tinnitus from DJing.

Neat! Most people need to put their hand or a conch shell to their ear to hear it

The search term you want is "pulsatile tinnitus." Many people hear it when our heart is pounding, in my case it was one of several symptoms that led to realizing I was very anemic. It can have serious causes like high blood pressure or a tumor, or more minor ones like sinus congestion or even just an individual difference of your inner ear. An otolaryngologist (ENT or Ear-Nose-Throat doctor) can help determine if there's anything to treat or worry about. But nobody is going to look for it unless you bring it up.
