Every time I say I hear electricity, people think I lie. But it makes noise! I hear my blood too.

Can you do that thing where you flex some internal muscle and hear a loud rumbling that I assume is rushing blood? It's hard to explain. I think the muscle is related to the jaw, or maybe ear movement. It's not externally perceivable, but it's useful on an airplane.

Is that something like swallow or gently blow through the nose with closing your nose? This is what I'm suppose to do to release pressure on my eardrum, but I have no idea what you mean.

Those things pop your ears, yeah, but they're not what I mean, and they don't make the noise. Oh well.
