Hello, try not to panic because stress does make the noise worse. The likely hood of having a major illness as the cause is small. Just to be sure, I would be adamant about getting a MRI with angiography or a CT angiography. Also, an MRI scan of the internal auditory canal is not a part of a...

Trust me, I know it's hard. I started out seeing a doctor and getting Flonase which didn't help at all but eventually I found someone who listened. I'd research as much as you can and go in understanding that many doctors do not even know what Pulsating tinnitus is. I wish you luck in your...

I started taking sumatriptan for my migraines and 30 minutes after taking it, the wooshing stopped. Now I can turn my head and everything and still no whooshing! I wish it would last but I'm sure once the medicine wears off it'll come back.

that is odd. I'm sorry you're going through this. It's been my experience that doctors know next to nothing about pulsatile tinnitus. Hopefully someday this changes. It can be so debilitating. I was told to try magnesium and NAC supplements to help with the woosh noise.

It sounds exactly like an ultrasound heart beat of an infant in the womb. I keep a white noise machine on constantly and I always distract myself. I never lay down at night unless my white noise machine and fan on right next to my head. I hope you find something that works for you. Have you find...

My mom has a VP shunt and it has failed multiple times, but she had hydrocephalus. I'm trying to lose weight and if that doesn't work there is a medication to decrease spinal fluid. I would choose a procedure to open a ventricle before I have a shunt. The pulse isn't so bad now that I've gotten...

I also have vascular loops on both sides. One is constricting a nerve. I was diagnosed as having empty sella syndrome which means I have intracranial hypertension. My blood pressure in the rest of my body is low. Both of these things can cause pulsatile tinnitus. I would ask if there is any way...

I spoke to a radiologist about why my scans were not showing the cause of my PT. I found out that you need to ask for an internal auditory canal MRA not an MRI. I have had so many scans and after having the one for my ear canal, they discovered that an artery in my brain had looped around a...

Hello, I had almost the exact same symptoms. I recieved a brain MRA with a Internal autitory canal MRA and it turns out I have a vascular loop. It's nothing major but it can be treated. I would see about getting a similar test.

Update: I have a vascular loop near my Eustachian tube. I don't know what this means or what can be done about it. I'm scared to death so If anyone knows anything about this please let me know.

I am going in tomorrow to get a CTA and will be meeting with my ENT on Friday. I will update with results. My carotid Doppler came back looking fine. Thank you for all the support. I will try sleeping in different positions. I noticed if I turn on a white noise machine or my fan then I can...

Hello, my name is Kayla and I developed pulsating tinnitus a little over a week ago. it developed suddenly in my right ear while laying in bed one night. I realized that by pressing on my carotid artery or by turning my head in a certain direction, I could make the noise stop. I immediately...
