have you considered getting your thyroid checked? anecdotal evidence, a former colleague mentioned they had thyroid issues (on the hyper side) and could hear their pulse in their head before solving it. somehow that bit of info stuck with me

Never heard this, interesting. I usually only hear it in places with low background noise, it kinda reminds me of the sound a CRT TV or something kinda like electricity, it's not really like those things, but it's the closest thing I can think of.

I can also hear myself blink if I have silence in a room.

I also actually do have a thyroid condition, but that could be pure coincidence.

heh, I can also hear myself blink sometimes in a quiet room. my thyroid tests are inconclusive though.
