That sounds like very good news all round! I am pleased for you. Can you describe what your tinnitus was like? Did it pulsate? Or woosh in time with your heartbeat? I only ask because I know pulsating tinnitus can be caused by high blood pressure. I have pulsating tinnitus in both ears. 11...

Well that sounds like good news to me Dom. I was just wondering how you were the other day when I came across an older post. You sound like you are coping much better. How is the sleep? I meant to ask about your T sound a while ago. You said it's like a washing machine sound. Does that mean it's...

Yes. Absolutely I need to hear these stories. Thank you. It's what keeps me going. I am struggling to stay positive at the moment. Maybe its just a Sunday downer but thanks anyway.

@Scared111 yes both sides. its different on each side. the right is louder and wooshes 24/7 more often like a pulsating hiss. the left is higher pitched, kind of like cymbals or sleigh bells, not so loud usually, and more intermittent. I have had blood pressure checked. it's normal. I have had...

Hello @kaylarose43 I have pulsatile tinnitus. I had an mri scan and the ent specialist ruled everything out but noted I had a couple of vascular loops, but they were unlikely to be if any significance. I wonder if that is why I have pulsatile tinnitus. I think I might go back and see if this...

Thank you for your story. I'm still suffering nine months in and need to read success stories like yours. I've only managed to actually speak to two other people who had tinnitus though. One got a lot better after 8 months and the other still has it but like you said doesn't care about it. I...

@Paul13 me too. Just wondering about the prospect of having to live with my ears pulsating for the rest of my life. I'm 58. Some days I'm nearly ok and think to myself ok I can do this! Others I wonder how it's going to be possible to live any sort of normal life or sleep properly again. It's...

I find it helpful to hear peoples experiences of PT so thank you everyone. Otherwise I would think I'm totally alone with this distressing condition. I find it a little easier during the afternoons and evening and sometimes, depending on how much sleep I had the night before, can feel almost...

When I discussed the results of my MRI scan the ENT said it showed I had a couple of vascular loops, which are blood vessels looped around your inner ear. I guess all it takes is some inflammation or changes in there to be able to hear those blood vessels. I don't know how common they are. He...

Hello @kgrandchamp thanks for your story. you mention swishing noises in your ears. Is there a pulsating element to your tinnitus? In time with your heartbeat?

Hello. That's interesting. I developed PT several months ago and have not yet found a cause. Unlike normal T I think that PT must have a physical cause. I'd be interested in knowing where you found out that a lot of PT isn't vascular. I've had diddley squat from GPs ENTs and suchlike and have...

Try not to get too despondent. Maybe it's just a setback and things will improve again. My T sounds like a washing machine too. I've had it about 8 month. Sleep is still very difficult. Just a thought... have you checked your blood pressure?

Kopesy thank you for posting your story and telling us of your journey. I hope things continue to get even better for you.

Hello Alex. I would just like to empathise as I'm going through similar. I had a lot of hissing tinnitus which seems to have subsided but I'm left with wooshing PT which is very difficult to deal with and my ears pop and crack a lot when I swallow or even move my jaw. Since everything else has...

This is good news! There is hope. I do hope things continue to get better for you and that you enjoy that holiday.
