A long while back I was hanging out with one of my sisters and she said that she hears thunder in her head when she gets startled.

Me: "Scuse me. What?"
Her: "You know. That thunder you hear when someone startles you."
Me: "Again. What?"
Her: "You don't hear thunder when someone startles you?"
Me: "Uh, no."
Her: "Oh. I thought that happened to everybody."

Is this a thing? Does this happen to anybody else out there? She did struggle with depression for much of her life. Could that have had something to do with it?

@arth If you close your eyes really hard and use your ear muscles at the same time you can hear a rush of blood for a quick second. Could this be what she's talking about? This is the closest thing I can think of.

Ear rumbling. There actually is a whole dedicated sub at that other place

Apparently not everyone can do the ear rumble... We should make a community for the chosen ones.
