Hello,
It might be that you are having a pulsatile tinnitus. It might also be good to have a heart ultrasound to make sure that all is well with the heart and possibly an ultrasound of the carotid arteries in the neck.
If all is well with them and your blood pressure is normal and ear exam is normal as well and you have no neurological signs, then very likely this is a pulsatile tinnitus, it is bothersome but not dangerous or something to worry.
I hope I have answered to your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
