Hey guys I had this procedure done. Right transverse sinus stenting. It’s been a year now and no PT ever since. If you have questions about this I can try to answer them. I live in Canada, Calgary. And here I was only the 2nd person to have this done.

Hey folks, I also have pt, what's your pt like? Is it there all the time? Mine sounds like the heart of a baby thru an ultrasound and sometimes I do have silence for some moments if I am very still etc. I can also feel pulsations on the pt side.... Its very strange. I have had an MRI that did...

Hey girl, I have vascular tinnitus and what u describe sounds like me as well. Its tough, but you are not alone I promise you. Don't ever feel alone in this.

Hey Leah, I have quite a lot of experience with bladder infections. After I developed pulsatile tinnitus I gave up any drugs. Not even advil. I would drink plenty of fluids, cranberry juice or pills, leafy greens juices. Bladder infections suck and hurt but your body can fight them without evil...

billie48, your support and comments in this forum really brighten my days. I start seeing things differently and try to find joy through the suffering. I am dealing with pulsatile tinnitus for 4 months now. everyday is a struggle but I try to be grateful, compassionate and forgiving towards...

Hey hazar, I don't have t, but I have vascular t, and I can feel the pulsing of my blood flow on that side of my head. I agree with u that perhaps if I didn't feel it would be easier to habituate. It is very bizarre.

I have only experienced the iodine contrast for CTA scans. If I am not mistaken the ones used for MRI's are different. But to answer your question about contrast, I felt a very warm sensation all over my body and a heavy feeling in my chest. Now I am not sure if the contrast for MRI's gives the...

Cassidy, I am not sure about the contrast. But regarding the other questions, I would say the more parts are scan the better. I mean, at least the brain, some people experience tinnitus when there is a tumour involved, so to rule that out and any other brain issues I say a scan of the brain is...

An MRA/MRV is a type of MRI in which they put a contrast dye in your bloodstream to see the veins and arteries in your brain. Someone with vascular tinnitus would benefit from this. But not necessarily someone with tinnitus.

Hey folks, I had a CTA 4 months ago for my pulsatile tinnitus, then another one today because the last one did not show my neck. I haven't had any issues so far. All good, I did worry a bit but I am just drinking tons of water to flush this out of my system. Most likely I'll need an MRI with...

Hey Simon, your symptoms totally sound like superior canal deshisence... I hope you get to the bottom of this! I understand your pain. I too have vascular tinnitus. What is your pt like? Is it a thud or a whooosh whoosh?

Hey Raymundo, what part of mexico? I'm from Monterrey. :)

I'm seeing arcade fire in august! :) I'm glad you are doing great epin.

Hey Raul, I also heard he is real good. I heard he has treated patients with pulsatile tinnitus! Good luck!

Hi everyone, here is an interesting journal article about radiological findings in people with vascular tinnitus. I believe that for a large amount of people with PT the cause can be found and treated but not all of us have access to health care and a doctor who will be willing to advocate for...

Agree with Karen, PT is pretty unmistakable, mine sounds like this http://www.whooshers.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/jessica.wav literally the blood flow on my head. So no worries, when I lay down on my non PT ear I can also feel my heart beat but I know this is usual and doesn't...

Hey @alifalijohn I believe we talked via private message? My symptoms are actually worse, I only took the antibiotic for 4 days, so I don't know if that was the cause. I also have vascular tinnitus which is completely different from tinnitus and the treatments are very different too, so its...

Dr. Nagler, thanks for replying to my previous question. :) I have another question for you though, before my vascular tinnitus started, I had a bladder infection and I was given Macrobid (Nitrofurantoin) which has Intracranial Hypertension as a rare side effect. Would you think that my...

trying to finish a political science degree, taking a break right now though and work at a outdoors store :). @nills, I also want to study Yoga :)

Hey Karen, maybe you already mentioned it before, but what tests did you have? and which drs saw you?

Hey guys, so I belong to the whooshers FB support group and many people have found the cause and had treatment. Recently I spoke to a fellow canadian woman who was cured last year, the way she explained it to me is that she had a temporal bone defect and as the years went by the bone became...

Hi Dr. Nagler, Thanks for the time and support you give to TT. :) I have a couple questions for you. About 3 months ago I developed Pulsatile Tinnitus, I hear a whoosh whoosh whoosh on my right ear. At first it was thought to be an ear infection, but obviously it was not, no pain, other...

Flexi the crackling might just be sinus issues, do not worry too much. I used a neti pot yesterday and now my ears are cracking every time I swallow, very annoying. Give it some time, chew some gum, drink water, do a head sauna and put some drops of peppermint or tea tree essential oils and...

oh damn, sorry I have unilateral!!! Sorry about that!!! (english is not my first language). Right ear only! But I will let you know what he says soon here, probs in the first week of May. :) keep me in your thoughts, I hope he sees something that can send me to the right direction.

Hey Ishhank, is your T, pulsatile? kinda like hearing your own heartbeat/blood flow?

Hey mynamewastaken, I was wondering how are you doing these days? I also spoke to Dr. Shapiro recently, he is a very nice gentleman and agreed to review my MRI and CTA. I will be sending my scans in the next days and then he said he will call me and talk about it. I will report back with what...

So I went camping last weekend, I live near the Rocky Mountains. It was really nice, though on the day we where supposed to get back I left the truck's lights on, ups and the battery died. We had to walk quite a bit and we were in a remote area, but luckily, there was a nice family around and...

Hey Debs, do you know if she had any tests or what made the PT worse/better? Started almost 3 months ago, its worse when laying down, bending down, physical activity that type of thing. Though I was not stressed when it started... I was VERY stressed later when it didn't go away. Hearing that...

Mine is right sided pulsatile tinnitus whoosh whoosh type of deal. Came out of nowhere really.

Hey tychobrae, I also have PT unilateral right sided . Im sorry to hear you are going thru this, on top of everything. I send you hugs. I saw an ENT over a month ago, and he was of no help, said I was going to have to get used to live with it. Of course I was not going to settle, I got a MRI...

Hi Kevin, I am sorry to hear you are having a hard time right now. I can totally understand the frustration, despair you must be feeling. First of all, I don't think that what you have is Pulsatile Tinnitus/Vascular tinnitus. It usually goes in synch with your pulse and typically sounds like a...

Hi epin3m, I have been reading some posts and some of your comments cheered me up and gave me hope I can overcome this and continue with life despite this.

Hey Kara, I think you are also a member of the whooshers Facebook page! :) Well, Macrobid was the only antibiotic I took for the infection. For the past 2 years I have been dealing with bladder infections. They wanted to put me on cipro, they actually gave the prescription, but I did not take...

Hi everyone, my name is Laura, and my journey started Feb 14, 2014. It came out of nowhere, or so it seemed. Don't know if its all related but this is how it went down, on Feb 10, I thought I had a bad bladder infection, went to the Dr asap because I am not new to bladder infections and the...
