Ear Can Hear Heartbeat
Does your ear can hear heartbeat? This is a question that sounds odd and frightening. The heart palpitation heard in the ears usually involves vascular, tumor or muscular causes.
Pulsatile tinnitus is a rhythmical noise synchronous to the heartbeat that can be heard as a low pitched pounding or a higher sound clicking noise. Hypertension, glomus (globe-shaped) tumor, Eustachian tube disorder, or an abnormality of a vein or artery causes the throbbing. The potential causes of pulsatile tinnitus are:
- Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) – abnormal connection of arteries and veins that occur within the cranial cavity near the auditory nerve.
- Carotid artery-cavernous sinus fistula – abnormal connection between a large artery and venous pool within the cranial cavity; usually the result of severe head trauma
- Vascular tumors in the middle ear – commonly referred to as glomus (globe-shaped) tumors. The patient must undergo surgical procedure to correct the problem.
- Narrowing or a partial blockage of these arteries; which is the root cause of cardiovascular diseases heart attack and stroke, because of high levels of cholesterol in the body.
- Chronic inflammation and/or infection of the middle ear. Chronic inflammation is almost always go with by increased blood flow to the swollen tissue.
- Eustachian tube dysfunction. It can sometimes result in pulsating tinnitus.
- Middle ear effusion. A greater amount of fluid will accumulate behind the middle ear will results to pulsatile tinnitus.
- Venous hum. Pregnant patients, anemic, or have thyroid problems may develop increased blood flow all the way through the largest vein in the neck (jugular vein). The jugular vein carries blood from the brain back to the heart. Chaotic blood flow anywhere in the course of the jugular vein can be heard in the middle ear as a “hum” which may or may not fluctuate with the pulse.
Tinnitus formula is useful in many cases of pulsatile tinnitus. This high potency, proprietary blend of natural vitamins and antioxidants works to dramatically boost your immune system. Also included is pharmaceutical grade Ginkgo biloba extract which has been proven in many clinical trials to relieve and lessen tinnitus.
