    Any Pulsatile Tinnitus Experts/Doctors in Australia?

    Pulsatile Tinnitus Only at Certain Angles

    I too have positional pulsatile tinnitus, it increases if I turn my neck to the left, decreases if I turn to the right, really kicks in if I look down to the ground (and I mean really increases).

    If You Have Pulsatile Tinnitus, Here's the First Thing You Need to Do to Get Answers and a Diagnosis

    Hi tiniturtle, can you please tell me what your pulsatile tinnitus sounded like, how frequent it was etc. I'm scheduled for a contrast MRA in the next week or so, my pulsatile tinnitus isn't all that bad and generally can only be heard when I'm in bed or in a very very quiet room.

    What Exactly Does Your "Pulsatile Tinnitus" Sound Like...?

    Hi, I'm keen to hear from other pulsatile tinnitus sufferers, could you please tell me what your PT actually sounds like, is it a whoosh, a heartbeat sound etc etc?

    Do I "Really" Have Pulsatile Tinnitus...?

    Hi there, I would like to get your thoughts as to whether or not I really do have pulsatile tinnitus or have I just tuned into the sound of my heartbeat / pulse in my left carotid. I first noticed the sound of my heartbeat in my left ear a few years back while working in a recording studio...
