    Yes!!!!

    I call it thumping in my ear. Sometimes my ear feels full and swollen. Sometimes the hearing is better than at other times. Sometimes there is a whooping noise and increased tinnitus.

    But the thumping is so irritating!!!! The thumping is only when I swallow. It sounds like someone is thumping on my ear drum.

    I feel it is hormonal because during the month it ebbs & increases with my cycle.

    I also have throat clearing. Sometimes it goes away and other times it really acts up, with my monthly cycle.

    So, I have figured out it is part of perimenopause/menopause.

    Hope this helps.

      Hi stevo.. lol ow yes I know what you mean, you think your getting through one symptom then ‘bam’ another starts up, when does all this crap stop, or do we just get use to the symptoms and learn to live with them ( hope not) ..

      Yeah Wen I lay on my pillow on my side I just go closer to the edge so my ear is not coved 😁 as other wise I can’t get to sleep as it just seems worse when I lay right on the pillow lol.. we’re woman and will do any thing that may help us in any way,   Bloody menopause 🤨x
