Hi i have a constant pulse noise and feeling in one ear only I had persistent afib for many years
Had many cardio versions and one ablation now I get random attacks of afib
But my ear is worse than the afib was
Was wondering if there is a connection
Cheers for any help

Could by pulsatilla tinnitus. I have the usual whistling in one ear, but in the other I can hear my pulse. Especially at night. Nice to hear it pumping away quietly after s few hours in Afib.
I have this as well, I find it hard deal with as my heart is usually in ectopic heart rhythm . And only seems to be in nsr when I go to bed at night.
It would be nice not to have to listen to it. But at least I am not having af
It can be annoying but some might say it's better than not having a pulse! Not a lot of help I know, but there are a number of free apps available which help to block out the noise, especially at night when it is generally more noticeable. Hopefully your device is equipped with a timer function!
I have it as well , was suggested to have a surgery to alimemt an enlarged vain behind the ear with silicon or something like this to reduce the burden ,I am not ready for that .
MRI showed enlarged vein . It’s really annoying, how ever I got use to it and hope I won’t get to a point that it will be unbearable.
I started to have this symptom like 2 years ago after my second ablation
This just started happening to me a couple months ago! It’s keeps me awake at night, but I do seem to be getting used to it. So frustrating. I have an appointment with an ENT next week. From what I’ve found, I agree it’s pulsatile tinnitus. I already have constant ringing in my ears and now this.
I've had a pulse in my ears for years, in fact nearly as long as having afib.
To me it's great knowing exactly when I go into or come out of AF because you can hear it flutter or go at horrendous speed. My Dr calls it my personal ECG. So for me it is a very positive tool.
