Do you have ringing in your ears, but it’s not constant, as it would be in general tinnitus, but you don’t know what is it? You most likely have pulsatile tinnitus, which is ringing in your ears or other sounds in your ears that is consistent with your pulse. It can vary from low pitched clicking or thumping sounds, to high pitched whistles, clicks or booms. Pulsatile tinnitus is actually more common than general tinnitus, and the causes of it are different as well. In general tinnitus, it is typically caused by long exposures to loud noises without ear plugs, or old age, or general health. However, in pulsatile tinnitus, it is generally caused by something with the arteries or the heart. The most common causes are:

Heart murmurs
Abnormalities in the veins or arteries

Change in blood flow of the main veins in your neck or the smaller veins in the ear are one of the causes of the sound of pulsatile tinnitus. Changes in blood flow can be caused by severe anemia or hard exercise, or narrower blood vessels than they should be.

Problems of arrangement with the arteries near the auditory nerve
Abnormal connection of the veins and arteries—typically caused by a head or neck injury
Chronic ear infections or ear inflammation
Fluid in the ear—also typical from ear infections
Tumors in your ear
Narrow or blocked arteries—from fatty deposits in your arteries that decreases the blood flow needed
