    Flying with Pulsatile Tinnitus

    So you've flown, then? That is somewhat reassuring to me. I've scheduled a short flight from New Orleans to Austin for the second weekend in November. My husband and I are going to (hopefully) enjoy a day there before we fly back home. I've got a longer flight scheduled in December, from NOLA to...

    Flying with Pulsatile Tinnitus

    First, THANK YOU for calling me young, LOL! I am almost 52 so I will take it. To address all you posted, in regard to the vascular aspects, I would think I've had enough testing to tell if there's anything up with the internal jugular vein? I will email my friend who's the tech that did the...

    Flying with Pulsatile Tinnitus

    Ugh, the whole 24/7 thing can really be trying at times. It's been a few years for me now and some days I don't think about it and other days it interferes with everything. Not having a WHY makes it worse for me. I've been an RN since 1993 and I do like a cause to go with the effect! I'm not...

    Flying with Pulsatile Tinnitus

    I've had pulsatile tinnitus (PT) 24/7/365 in my left ear since 2015, soon after I was diagnosed with DVT and PE (blood clots in legs and lungs) and was in heart failure. Not long after that I started having pain in my left eye, sinus, and jaw. Neuro did an MRI and found what was thought to be a...

    High-Pitch Pulsatile Tinnitus

    I know this is an older thread but I have to say THANK YOU to @Kaelon for posting that link. I literally burst into tears when I read it. I have printed it to bring to my neurotologist. I had read something about this elsewhere but the technical/medical language was lacking. I tried to describe...

    Unilateral Pulsatile Tinnitus

    I've had it in my left ear, loudly, for about 14 months now and I also have the "regular" ringing tinnitus in both ears for a few years now, though it was worse in my left before the pulsatile started (which drowned it out). Sometimes I feel like the pulsatile tinnitus might be starting in my...

    Tinnitus and Pulsatile Tinnitus

    @MikeP505 I'm hanging in there! I saw the neurotologist and... just ugh. Nothing really. He did clarify my brain "thing" as a "petrous apex effusion" and the plan is to reimage in April to see if it's grown. I did ask why the constant pulsatile tinnitus is new since the PE and he couldn't...

    Tinnitus and Pulsatile Tinnitus

    Thanks @Karen for the welcome! I'm happy to be here either way as I do have regular ol' tinnitus too and it's not fun and games either. I'm sure I'll be digging around and reading lots of stuff to educate myself, as I've mostly tried to ignore it until the last year or so. I do agree that if the...

    Tinnitus and Pulsatile Tinnitus

    Hello, new here and wanted to introduce myself! I'm 49, married, kids, grandkids, live in New Orleans, and I'm a retired RN (due to work-related hip injury). I've had tinnitus in my left ear for a few years now, super low volume humming sound with the occasional "black out" of hearing followed...
