title: Ask the doctor.  One morning last week I woke up hearing my heartbeat in my left ear.  I hear it most clearly when I am in bed or sitting quietly.  My health is good, and I was told after a recent cardiac workup that my heart was "perfect." Should I be worried that I can hear the rhythmic pattern of my heart from inside my left ear?
