Hi Mary Sorry you are suffering. I have PT but mine is a continual whoosh whoosh in time with my heartbeat. I've had it years and thought nothing of it but when mentioned to Dr I was referred to ENT immediately as it is only one sided (right ear). MRI showed nothing wrong other than fluid in my...

How was your scan today?

90 mins to 2 hours?! Crikey! I found it ok though. I closed my eyes throughout and listened to music. Treat it as some time out if you can :)

Hi. I was like You a few weeks ago. I have heard my pulse in my right ear for ages and never thought anything of it. That was until I mentioned it to my Dr who immediately said it needed referring. I suffer terrible health anxiety and stupidly read lots on google and managed to convince myself I...

Hi all. Just had my MRI results. No tumours but I have fluid in mastoid area behind ears. Having an op to straighten bone in nose which is blocking eustacian tube and causing ETD. Also having grommets to drain fluid on mastoid area and I may have to have mastoidectomy, but that would be much...

I agree with RYan. I am sure there is nothing serious going on but at least an MRI would help ease your mind. I can't believe your neurologists have said this is unnecessary. I'm in the UK and an MRI for one-sided tinnitus is considered essential. I have heard my pulse in my right ear for...

Sometimes if my tinnitus is bad I use a sleep app. There's loads out there and you can choose the noises, sounds or music u want it to play as u go to sleep. You can also time it to play for a set amount of time.

That's interesting to hear Fungis. Maybe there is a connection. I do know my old ENT told my mum grommets can scar the eardrums and that I had narrow eustacian tubes. Problem with me is that while I hope they don't find an AN, I worry they'll find something else wrong in my brain I wasn't...

I suffer with health anxiety. It's completely debilitating when it occurs. People laugh and think I'm a hypochondriac but have no idea what it's like and the awful symptoms it produces. I know it will never go, I just deal with it. But what I have learned is that worrying about what ifs gets you...

Hi Teejay, great advice. How are you doing? How are they/ did they treat your AN? I have heard that of all brain tumours they are the best you can have in terms of treatment. Wishing you all the best x

Why does ATEOS have to be so unpleasant. Just saying...

Thank you for your post Karen. Before joining this forum, I noticed how helpful you are to other sufferers. So nice to chat with people who are experiencing similar symptoms. I have an appointment with ENT specialist next Saturday s I'll let you know how I get on x

Thanks Eric. My rational mind agrees with you but I guess we all have that 'what if' voice lurking. Do you also have pulsatile tinnitus and have you ever found a cause?

Yes you are right - it's just hard for an anxious mind to accept.

Don't get me wrong, sometimes it is very annoying, just less often than not. I also believe that as I've if it so long I've become used to it. I am lucky I work with children as the noise they produce could mask an air raid siren!

Pulsatile tinnitus sufferer - whoosh whoosh!

Hi fellow sufferers! I'm Caroline. I'm 37 and live in the UK (you can feel sorry for me if you like lol!) Anyway, went to Dr over something and mentioned I can always hear my pulse in my right ear. I've had this for many years and never thought much of it as it doesn't tend to bother me. When...
