What does a thumping in my ear mean?

Question

For the last few weeks I've been experiencing a low thumping sound in my right ear. It happens pretty often, but not everyday. I can still hear out of the ear just fine, but am worried that maybe I somehow ruptored my eardrum??
Any insight would be appreciated.

Answer 1

could be tinitus- it could be ringing, buzing, or thumping in ear.
