(SCDS) or Superior Canal Dehiscence Syndrome:
Hearing Your Own Heart Beat
Can you hear your heart beat? What about your stomach growling or air flowing in and out of your lungs? The constant functioning of our organs generally goes unnoticed, but it was a different story for 46-year-old Karrie, who suffered from a rare condition called semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome (SCDS.)
"Two years ago I woke up one morning to the room spinning. Two or three months later I started hearing my heart beating in my ear. My heart would be like a drum, it was 24/7," Karrie says.
Neurosurgeon Dr. Isaac Yang says that Karrie had a hole between her inner ear and her brain. "Because of this hole, all the sounds in her body were excessively loud," he explains.
"After you're born the bones in your skull develop between the brain and the ear, but in Karrie's case the bone was very thin. Over time the bone wore down to form a hole," Dr. Yang adds.
