I get a tingling feeling when people whisper in my ear.

I don't know what it is, but everytime someone whispers in my ear, the sound of whispers, when they swallow, or their tongue moves around( in their mouth), and the way they breathe into my ear, it just drives me absolutley crazy. I get this crazy feeling of relaxation, I don't want to move an inch, my eyes get heavy, it's like I'm being hypnotized. I remember once when I was in first grade we had a teacher assistant, and she was really dorky, she had braces and glasses. But everytime I was around her I would get this tingling feeling, especially in my ears, from the way that shecwas breathing. And other times when I put my head to someones chest and u hear thier heart beating, it puts me right to sleep. So is that wierd, and even if it isn't can someone please tell me what the hell it is with me and my ears? Is it normal?

    I have the same thing. The feeling of their breath in my ear, the sound of the whisper. I totally get what you're saying.

    I think it is Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) it's a physical sensation characterized by a pleasurable tingling that typically begins in the head and scalp. Whisper videos on youtube trigger it for me :) it's normal but people don't know exactly why it happens.
