I have a St. Jude's. I had a similar experience to what Paleowoman described.. When the valve was new and my body was injured and inflamed from surgery, I heard it all the time. Now I rarely hear it unless I want to hear it. I hear it right now because it is late and quiet and everyone's sleeping. I hear a tick like an old school watch. The ticking never keeps me awake or distracts me. I do interview a lot of witnesses, victims, and suspects at work. I use a digital recorder concealed in a shirt pocket. Sometimes when I listen to the recording while writing a report, I can hear the tick in the recording. I tried to get my coworkers to hear it in the recording and they had difficulty recognizing it.
