Why am I hearing a pulsating sound in my left ear?

You might have injured or accidentally hit your ear drum which causes that pulsating sound, also you might want to check if you left some water in your inner ear.

There are major vessels going too and fro from the neck to the brain. They go very close to the skull and occasionally the pulsation from them can be felt in the ear. Very rarely the tumors of these vessels can cause a pounding pulsation in the ear.
