Default Annoying ear problem

For the past 10 years, I have had this weird "popping" noise in my left ear which coincides with my pulse, when it is at a normal rate. It's loud enough to keep me awake at night but has absolutely no effect on my hearing. Any ideas?

When you lie down, there is just enough pressure on the artery that you hear the pulse. It is no big deal.

Yeah, but it is throwing off my rhythm!

Actually, it happens when I am sitting up, as well.
