Can you hear a bruit in your head?

A bruit is an abnormal swishing or blowing sound created by turbulent blood flow through a blood vessel. While it is possible for some individuals to hear a bruit in their head, it is not something that should be considered normal.

In most cases, a bruit in the head is caused by a underlying medical condition, such as an abnormal narrowing or dilation of a blood vessel, or the presence of a blood clot or plaque in a blood vessel. It is important to consult a medical professional if you are experiencing a bruit in your head, as it may be a sign of an underlying health issue that requires evaluation and treatment. Your healthcare provider can perform tests to determine what is causing the bruit and recommend the appropriate course of action.
