👂 Do you hear your heartbeat in your ear?
That pulsing, whooshing sound may be something called pulsatile tinnitus.
Unlike typical ringing tinnitus, pulsatile tinnitus often follows the rhythm of your heartbeat and is commonly related to blood flow and circulation near the ear.
Here’s something many people don’t realize:
For some individuals, neck tension, posture, or upper cervical misalignment may influence how noticeable these symptoms feel — especially if the sound changes with head or neck movement.
That’s why a thorough evaluation is important.
Pulsatile tinnitus should always be medically assessed first, and in certain cases, addressing the upper neck and posture can be a helpful part of a supportive care plan.
