Thank you for your feedback.
No hearing loss. Feels like I can feel my heart beating in my ear. Just haven't experienced this before and have had migraines since I was 9years old. Grandmother died of a stoke at 55, and mom of a heart attack. Other than migraines, I'm in great shape, so probably just alittle paranoid.
They seem to be getting worse. I can excercise, but reducing stress is not an option.

Hello again,
Thanks for considering my answer and for your follow up.
Sounds in ear (tinnitus) could be due to ear related disorders or other organ disorders (anaemia, temparo mandibular joint disorder, thyroid hormone abnormalities). It is important that we rule out the aforementioned disorder before considering psychological reasons. Therefore I will suggest you follow the investigations to know the exact cause.
Hope, I have answered your query.
Take care.
