A knocking sound in the ear, often referred to as pulsatile tinnitus, can be caused by various factors including changes in blood flow near the ear, ear infections, or issues with the middle ear such as Eustachian tube dysfunction. It may also result from muscle spasms in the ear or surrounding areas. In some cases, underlying conditions like hypertension or vascular malformations can contribute to this sound. If the knocking persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional for evaluation.

How does sound enter your ear without bouncing away?
Sound enters the outer ear and travels down the ear canal, where it causes the eardrum to vibrate. These vibrations are then transmitted through the middle ear bones to the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals that are sent to the brain. The shape of the ear and the presence of hair and earwax help to prevent sound from bouncing away.
