beating earplug

I have been using earplugs to sleep for thirty years. A couple nights ago when I put my earplug in my right ear it started having this rapid beat. When I take it out I do not hear it. The left side is fine. This is bothering me and defeating the purpose of my earplugs. I now have a choice, try to deal with the beating ear or be woken up to snoring and early morning bird chirps,etc. Could this be the vega nerve? I don't know what to do and have not been sleeping well the last few nights.

30 years? wow that is a lot of time. that rapid beat happened to me the first year i used ear plugs. (now i have used them for 4). THE ANSWER TO THAT IS: it goes away, but you have to stop using ear plugs. It took me 2 weeks for the beat to go away I was fricking out. I though i was goign to loose my hearing. I think the beat comes from your eardrum.

When you put earplugs, you sort of make an subtraction while at the same time you put WAX inside (all the sweating). What i did is i put chamomile to try to clean it (but didn't do much). I simply stopped using them and the beat want away. In retrospective, ever since that incident,  i hate people who make noise at night. Its amazing the effect those selfish people (neighbors/ roommates) to the point of affecting our own health (no sleep and ear infections). And if you noticed, if you use earplugs every day for months, you can even make your ear canal bigger)--making you hear even more.. at least this is what happened to me.
