My wife has advanced PPMS and reports hearing her own pulse in her ear. Does anyone recognise this symptom?

Hi there,
I do sometimes hear my heart beating in my ear. Other times it's a "swish" sound going back and forth inside my ear drum. More often it feels like my ears are stuffed with cotton wool and everyone has to raise their voice so I can hear. I also shout(according to my husband).

I have had my ears tested and my hearing is allegedly fine. This disease blows!!

Ciao

Yes I get this too, it's like a swishing pulsating in my ear, feels like it's in my head too. I had never thought of it as a symptom of ms but seeing others have experienced this it could very well be.

i have just being diagnosed with ms but still dont know what type. i can hear my own heartbeat when i am lying in bed,sometimes its like i can feel it pulsing,i also get what can only be described as a high pitched frequency in my ears. i do not know what causes this wether its ms or not my ears have been checked and they are ok.this whole thing is confusing to me!

Tinatus a ringing in the ears causes rushing noises, somepeople say they hear sounds like car engines , or washing machines !!!
There is also a condition called pulsating tinatus where by people hear what they say there heart beating / pulsating
I have tinatus very bad and also have hearing loss , tinatus drives me mad !!!
I'm not DX still having tests
If tinatus is bad there are machines available to buy through Action On Hearing Loss , that aid sleeping , works for some , you can also find out more information about tinatus awareness

I used to have this but it was down to ear wax. I now go once a year to see an ENT nurse to have them properly cleared and don't get it anymore so I'm not convinced it's anything to do with MS.

was told it was a sign that i was doing too much, have found this to be the case so a warning to slow down

I get that swishing, pulsing sound every time I lay down. In bed at night it sounds like raining, or my own pulse or even the sea rushing in and out. Almost like when you hold  a seashell to your ear.

What causes it?
