My heartbeat

Hi there!
I'm new here and I look forward to getting helpful advice.
Issue:
I had an ear infection, which I managed to clear up a few days ago. Since, my ear has been blocked and I tried wax removal drops, which worked. But I seem to hear my heartbeat in my left ear. Why?
C.

So, how does the heart beat sound? Regular and at a reasonable rate?  If so congratulations. the heart is more important than the hearing.

No sure what you mean it works... I read you are still having some plugged ear problems.

Most people do not hear their heart beat in their ear, but I can say sometimes, and rarely, I can hear my heart beat when ling is bed on my side - one ear against the pillow.

I have had a lot of ear infections and never a residue noise. Have you told your dr? I would find out why.
