Hi @Jiri There are some good days and bad days with my T. Plus the main reason I feel sometimes it’s low because I stopped listening to it. I tired to focus on any other sound except my T. I started with listening to music, it was initially tough at work where it’s all quiet but now most days...

Hi @Jiri I had the same problem too... I think first few months I was obsessing about the sound and was always was listening to it.. so any slight change in the sound... I used to freak out... also hair dryers increased my pulsatile T. I am 8 months into my T and I don’t listen to it anymore. I...

Hi @Kolby My PT reduced considerably after I started taking Magnesium and calcium supplements.. maybe you can check with your doctor if you can also take these supplements? Ofcourse it's never completely gone, but it's manageable. Anxiety and bruxism also might elevate it.

Hi @DirM My dentist suggested my left ear pitched T could be due to TMJ. He recommended a very expensive dental guard that would lower my lower jaw by millimeters and hence give some space between the bone and the socket next to the ear canal. I am one month into it and still no change in...

Hi @Gin i do take lipoflavinoids and also other supplements since I have PT on the other ear. But the noise level has never changed and I am 4 months into my T... with no change despite various treatments... some days are bad and some are good... can't figure out what causes the bad days... so...

Hello all Has anyone tried masking aids like white noise generators for pulsatile tinnitus? I have PT in my right ear and regular T in my left and for the high pitches tone in my left ear, I was given Audifon Sueno S white noise masking aid. The audiologist told me to adjust the sounds for...

Hi @Tanya2 Welcome to the forum. I have a similar condition as yours. I have regular tonal sound in left ear and PT in my right. I have been to ENTs and audiologists and got different tests done. Nothing abnormal. I do have a Hashimoto thyroiditis and I take tabs for them. The days I forget...

Hi @Karen Yes I am experimenting with food :) also with work outs and neck movements, the sounds with thumping effect changes as in increases. So I am not sure if I am supposed to do those movements or keep them relaxed for now? My confusion with magnesium is whether total magnesium intake is...

Hi @Karen I got magnesium glycinate in combo with citrate and carbonate. I have attached image. The bottle says magnesium total for 2 capsule is 166 mg and does this mean I can take upto 4 per day to reach around 600 mg? Also do you have variations in your pulsatile T due to different food...

Hi @BuzzyBee I too have blocked ears once I remove my aids which is a white noise masked.. I use audifon Sueno S and it has been 2 weeks, I don't know if there is an improvement. Also, I don't have significant hearing loss. I have constant tone in my left ear and pulsatile T in my right. I am...

Hi @Karen Yeah I do use a dryer maybe next time I use ear plugs and try... also what type of magnesium suplements do you take? Is it also 600 mg before sleep? Thanks!

Hi @Karen I did check with a cardio and he doesn't seem to notice a venous problem and also my BP is very normal and hence he could not explain my PT.... and the strange part is it gets very loud after I wash my hair! Any similar experiences? Also I'll check with my GP about my thyroid then...

Hi @kaylarose43 I too have pulsatile T which increases when I press my carotid artery. In my other ear I have regular high pitched tone T which doesn't bother me. But, PT is like a thumping noise or gets very rapid in the evenings like a fan motor with ribbons on them...so difficult to avoid...

Exactly another doctor thought if was an infection, and one jus said give it time it will go away. Also I was never exposed to any acoustic trauma or accidents to my head and neck, it started out of the blue after a party where I had too much to drink and there was no music there.
