Daily Mail UK I woke up one day with a constant whooshing sound in my ear. I thought it was just tinnitus... then I discovered it was something much worse. DR SCURR reveals what's really going on, the shock causes and a simple device that could help
Pulsatile tinnitus is where you hear certain sounds much louder than normal, such as your pulse and heartbeat, and is usually caused by an abnormality - effectively, you're hearing your blood flow.
