    Left Ear, 2 Weeks, and Scared

    I'm 12 weeks into my T, right ear. You'll have to do what's right for you. I didn't have much of a choice regarding the MRI. My ENT wanted it, and I wanted to rule out bigger problems. Good luck to you in whatever you chose. My first few weeks were pretty tense, but I've learned to deal...

    OK, Pulsatile Tinnitus, What Next?

    Hello Jake, I’m 8 weeks or so into T. My pulsing started after having tubes put in my ears, to address eustachian tube dysfunction. I hear two different sounds now depending on the angle I’m holding my enormous head. The first is exactly the bass “bump” you hear. It’s not as bad as many...

    Need Some Help

    Well, I had two runs of prednisone with my ENT, and two others with my GP. My ENT used the high dose with a taper. I did a week at 60mg, then tapered down. This did help my T, but it jacked me up in other ways. My sleep cycle was crushed (had to use ambien to sleep), my mood was terrible, my...

    New to Pulsatile Tinnitus

    I'm at about the same length of time with my T, a result of having tubes put in my ears. I am sensitive at times now myself. I had ear plugs in most of the time at church today, and I never needed that before. The music and clapping both bother me now...the volume, not the content:) I had...

    Need Some Help

    James, my T is pulsatile, and not as bad as you're dealing with. I will keep a good thought going for you. I suspect I know the answer here, but are you able to rest? Can you sleep at all? Your gp can help with this.

    Experiencing Pulsatile Tinnitus for Almost 4 Years

    I'm 6 weeks into mine, but it's manageable, nothing like you have. I wish you good luck as you try to find answers.

    Need Advice, Please...

    I just had a CT scan last week to rule a tumor out. I suspect any ENT is going to recommend that, as well as hearing tests (I've had three of those thus far). Good luck to you.

    Caffeine and Pulsatile Tinnitus

    You can find info that's all over the place regarding caffeine and T. There's a 2014 study that says it may help, but I've read both positive and negative. I reduced my caffeine drastically since my T started, but I've done that because resting is so difficult anyway, and I want to reduce...

    Somewhat Worried — Pulsatile Tinnitus Started Last Night

    I'm very new in this deal. I have it in my right ear as well. Getting rest is important and this has been my biggest problem throughout. My primary doc has helped me work through this. Hopefully you can get to an ENT soon as well. Your ENT may suggest a CT scan or similar to make sure...

    Noise-Induced Tinnitus — Positive Success Stories

    I'm new here as well. My issues started in December last year, and after much time with an ENT and several hearing tests, I ended up getting tubes in my ears, which has helped the eustachian tube dysfunction but has left me feeling "off" and with pulsatile T in the right ear. I'm six weeks...

    Pulsatile Tinnitus in Left Ear

    I have it in my right ear only, going on 6 weeks now, as a result of a myringotomy and tubes being put in my ears, due to eustachian tube issues. We did a CT scan to rule out tumor and such, and I'm glad we did that. Good luck with your tests.

    Hello, New to Forum, Pulsatile Tinnitus

    Hello all. I have had pulsatile tinnitus for nearly 6 weeks. It's a by-product of a myringotomy and ear tubes to address eustachian tube dysfunction. It impacts my right ear only, and is worse at night, when it's quiet. I get through okay during the day, but it's tough to rest at night...
