    TT (Toilet Talk): Hearing a Whooshing Sound for a Few Seconds Right After Sitting Down

    I'm back! The whooshing sound came back briefly and is gone again, but suddenly my high-pitched ringing tinnitus that I've had for a year and a half now sometimes is in synch with my pulse?! Is that a form of pulsatile tinnitus that cam be worrisome, or is it different since I don't hear blood...

    TT (Toilet Talk): Hearing a Whooshing Sound for a Few Seconds Right After Sitting Down

    Thank you, Tin can. I do have an update! ENT #2 examined me and said the pulsatile tinnitus, because I only hear it a few seconds in the specified scenarios, is nothing to investigate, same as ENT #1 said over the phone, but that I'm welcome to do all of the numerous tests available. I...

    TT (Toilet Talk): Hearing a Whooshing Sound for a Few Seconds Right After Sitting Down

    I heard back from my PCP (primary care provider) as we call them here in the Unitd States and he is not familiar with it but said it doesn't sound like anything of concern to him and is glad that my eye doctor ruled anything out as that would be his suggestion. I also got a call back from the...

    Interesting, thanks. Do you know the cause of yours?

    TT (Toilet Talk): Hearing a Whooshing Sound for a Few Seconds Right After Sitting Down

    Thank you and thanks for clarifying! What I mean is that the couple of times I heard the whooshing in my ears was only in the situation I described which was never after or close to when I exercised. When I've been exercising and getting my heart rate way up I do not experience the pulsatile...

    TT (Toilet Talk): Hearing a Whooshing Sound for a Few Seconds Right After Sitting Down

    My resting heart rate is actually normal/low, averaging 60 beats a minute. I only experienced the pulsatile tinnitus for a few seconds a couple of times and not right after exercising. I wish I lived in the UK. I am in the US.

    TT (Toilet Talk): Hearing a Whooshing Sound for a Few Seconds Right After Sitting Down

    Thank you, but looking online at the typical symptoms it doesn't match what I'm experiencing. I did send a message to my doctor this morning. ETA: To be safe I'll also make an appointment with my ENT.

    I guess you'e not a fan of Keeping Up Appearances *smile*. I love that Britcom. Hyacinth Bucket, a social striver, admonishes people when they correctly pronounce her surname: "It's pronounced bouquet!" Those around her refer to her as "the Bucket woman" and run fast and far.

    TT (Toilet Talk): Hearing a Whooshing Sound for a Few Seconds Right After Sitting Down

    Hi all. I've had "regular" (classic? ) tinnitus for decades. About two weeks ago after I first got up in the morning and sat down on the loo, I heard blood rushing in my ears in timing with my pulse which lasted only a few seconds. I also was able to "see" a pulse in my eyes which lasted about...

    Vancomycin Started My Tinnitus, Doxycycline Made It Worse, and Now Amoxicillin Triggered It More

    Sorry you got C Diff from an antibiotic. I did as well. I also got tinnitus (high pitched) from having to take Vancomycin, oral, to treat the C Diff. My PCP insisted it was IMPOSSIBLE to get it from oral vs IV Vancomycin. Two ENTs did say it was possible (as does the fine print inside the box)...

    I Now Have Tinnitus After Receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine

    Good news. My spike ended two days ago and I've been baseline since! I will be getting dose #2 as planned. If I spike again, maybe it will last longer but I'm trusting it too will go away.

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    I am aware of all of this, I was simply posting so people could view and arrive at their own conclusions since people have been referencing the VAERS data. I have nothing to prove or disprove, am simply offering my experience and concerns. This will be my last post in this thread.

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    He is my second opinion ENT. The first brushed off any possibility that any of the COVID-19 vaccines could cause tinnitus, and that was when I met with her before getting my vaccine. So, yes, the brush off!
