If you’ve been told that the “heartbeat sound” or “whooshing noise” in your ear is just something you’ll have to live with, a former Harvard researcher wants you to know there may be another explanation — one that most doctors overlook.

Dr. Kenneth Miller spent over three decades studying neurological inflammation before his wife, a professional pianist, began experiencing a rhythmic pulsing sound that matched her heartbeat.

After seven specialists told her “there’s nothing we can do,” Dr. Miller discovered something unexpected in German neurology research: the pulsatile sound may actually be caused by inflammatory compounds called cytokines attacking the trigeminal nerve pathway near the inner ear.

What surprised him even more was that a common compound found in Vicks VapoRub — traditionally used for chest congestion — appears to have properties that may help calm this specific type of nerve inflammation when applied using a particular technique near the mastoid bone behind the ear.

In this presentation, independent researchers explain:

• Why pulsatile tinnitus may be linked to trigeminal nerve inflammation rather than a typical ear problem
• How a specific compound in Vicks has been studied for its anti-inflammatory properties affecting cranial nerves
• The simple application method that thousands have used to address the underlying inflammation

Whether you’ve been dealing with this for months or years, understanding the connection between nerve inflammation and pulsatile sounds could be the missing piece you’ve been searching for.
