Thudding in ear?

[walkerbull]

I am plagued by a new fear, why is my ear thumping?

Even a qualified doctor would struggle to answer such an unspecific question. I'm willing to bet anxiety would be on their list of possibilities, though.

Anxiety is the likely culprit. When my stress goes up (like talking in front of a class, especially in psych about a subject that pissed me off) my ear starts thumping. It goes away when my body fully calms, which takes a whilr even after you think you're calm

I have had this. I believe it's called "tympanic flutter." It is horribly distracting but not harmful. Once I had it really bad for almost 24 hours. I thought it was permanent and that I would never sleep again! It wasn't -- it went away. I still get it occasionally at random, just a few "thuds" here or there. Don't worry!

This happens to me every now and again. It literally sounds like I'm "hearing" a muscle spasm inside of my ear. Nothing more than just an annoyance.
