I have had pulsatile tinnitus for around 16 months, about 2 months ago I developed regular tinnitus, so I now have both. Your question is in fact a good question.

Hi Shreya, I was unable to get a diagnosis in South Australia which is why I am searching for a "good doctor" in Victoria, I have had low volume PT in my left ear for 9 months now. It is more of a thump thump rather than a whoosh whoosh. It changes in volume when I change neck position. If you...

I too have positional pulsatile tinnitus, it increases if I turn my neck to the left, decreases if I turn to the right, really kicks in if I look down to the ground (and I mean really increases). If I lie flat on my back without a pillow supporting my neck it totally disappears.., I've had blood...

Hi , I'm wondering if anyone in Australia would know of a medical person (in Australia) who has a good knowledge of Pulsatile Tinnitus? The reason I ask this is because I am from South Australia and have exhausted all hopes of having an MRA or MRV carried out in this state. The doctors and...

Thanks Greg, I am booked in for an ultrasound of the carotids, in the meantime I am listening out for the heartbeat in my left ear (honestly, I have become obsessed with this...!).

Hi, I'm keen to hear if anyone thinks that I / some of us may be watching "too closely" and may be tuning in to the normal sound of blood moving through our carotids etc. It's just a thought, I personally became aware of a couple of heartbeat sounds in my left ear and from there I googled...

Mmm, To date I have had 73 views and 1 reply..., surely someone must have something to add...??

Hi tiniturtle, can you please tell me what your pulsatile tinnitus sounded like, how frequent it was etc. I'm scheduled for a contrast MRA in the next week or so, my pulsatile tinnitus isn't all that bad and generally can only be heard when I'm in bed or in a very very quiet room.

Hi, I'm keen to hear from other pulsatile tinnitus sufferers, could you please tell me what your PT actually sounds like, is it a whoosh, a heartbeat sound etc etc? Mine is a heartbeat sound (a pulse sound / thump), not a whoosh) and it is totally in sync with my pulse. I can usually only hear...

Mine sounds like a heartbeat, thud thud thud...,

Mine hasn't, but I've only had it 5 months..., it totally drives me insane, I've had an mri, plan to have my carotids scanned shortly. How is yours going...?

Hi there, I would like to get your thoughts as to whether or not I really do have pulsatile tinnitus or have I just tuned into the sound of my heartbeat / pulse in my left carotid. I first noticed the sound of my heartbeat in my left ear a few years back while working in a recording studio...

That's the spirit, we "anxious types" need to focus more on external things, be kind to yourself... (and others). Cheers Ian

Hi there AmyLee22, My PT sounds like yours...! I also spend too much time on my phone, my computer and my tablet., and yes my posture is not good while doing this, I have also developed a sore neck and shoulder (posture?). I wouldn't worry too much about it if I were you, particularly since you...

Hi Gorg, Did you ever get to the bottom of this, I'm a recent PT sufferer and I'm keen to gain as much info as possible..Thanks Ian

Hi, I have been experiencing Pulsatile Tinnitus with the sound of a heartbeat primarily in the left ear for approximately 6 weeks. It really peaked this evening while I was sitting up reading in bed (in both ears). I just couldn't ignore the PT so I got up and made myself 2 pieces of toast...

Hi RichardRR, I have Pulsatile Tinnitus only. Like you my tinnitus fades out when I lower my head perpendicular to my body (I'm bending at the waist) and then as I raise my head, the PT gets kicks in and then completely disappears when my head is back in the full upright position. Have you...

Hi, As a newbie to pulsatile tinnitus I'm keen to hear a description of your pulsatile tinnitus e.g. is it constant 24/7, is it a whoosh or a thump thump, can you stop or vary it by head or neck movement, posture changes etc. My pulsatile tinnitus is a heartbeat sound in my left ear that...

Hi there Sage, and welcome to PT. We have a bit in common here, I'm from Australia and we have just had the hottest driest summer on record which resulted in me having hay fever for months (sore throat, runny nose, watery eyes etc etc ). Whether or not this "cranked up" my PT or not, I will...

Hi Paul13, I tend to agree with you, I didn't have PT until I heard a few beats in my left ear when I was working in a sound proof room, from there I started to focus intently on my ear and guess what, I now have PT in that ear..., I guess I now need to "un-focus...? How is your PT these days...

Mine is intermittent in that I can only hear the pulse in my left ear when I am in certain positions e.g. stooping, leaning forward, leaning my head to the left or right, and sometimes while lying down. If I sat or stood upright I just wouldn't hear it.

Hi, I'm new to pulsatile tinnitus. The sound of a"beating heart" (not whooshing) started in my left ear about a month ago. The same sound that you get when you are startled or running up a flight of stairs. To date I have noticed that, the beating mainly occurs when I lean forward e.g., when I...

Linda, I also can't hear mine with my ear plugged with my finger...
