    I can do this. If I’m in a really quiet area, I like to take in a deeper breath and then exhale as slowly as possible while doing it, which then allows me to hear my heartbeat. Super nifty.

    I can also use my soft pallet to block airflow from my throat to my nose. Can you do that too?

      I can’t block my nose in that way. I tried when your comment came in, but I can’t conceive of how to do it.

      With the ear popping thing, I just hear the rushing of my breath. I can see how you might be able to hear your heart. I might be making this up in my head, but I feel like maybe I could hear it when I was younger.
