I've had tinnitus for 42 years. I damaged the bones in both middle ears due to a traumatic head injury whe I was 16. I hear all different sounds. Some are worse than others. I have to have sound around me all the time. I am a teacher rand when the students are not in the room, I have music...

Oh I forgot, I am going to have an MRI to make sure he is correct. I also have carpal tunnel syndrome. Oh well! I think if your tinnitus is not serious, I'd rather learn to deal with it. I actually have had it since I was 16 and I'mm 55 now. Ya' think I've learned!!!

I had a cat scan of my neck, ears and head. Everything was fine. I was sent to a neurologist today in case I has intercranial pressure causing the whooshing. He said that I do not have that but he believes that because I have a hearing loss in both ears the ear with the heartbeat sound is...

Yes, and I don't have headaches either. You just took a weight off my shoulders. This condition was a bad one. Well I'll let you know if that's what I have. What other tests did they give you?

Hi, Karen, I found out that my cat scan angiogram was normal. I am now going to go to a neurologist for a check on a rare condition related to cranial pressure, I think. If that is negative then I'm off to a specialized ear doctor at Mass Eye and Ear. Don't know what it all means but at...

I'm so happy that you are doing better. I wonder what the kinesiologist did? It would be nice if others could be helped.

Do any doctors every read these posts and think about what might be the cause of this or the cure. Is any research being done? Is this dangerous?

Okay, I had the Cat scan of my head, neck and ears. My doctor is on vacation. I have an appointment on the 16th. I called and asked to have the results. I was told everything was normal. I know it is not because I still have the whooshing 24/7. Sometimes it is louder than other times. If...

Hi Everyone,

Thanks, After reading all of these posts I feel like telling people that this is usually not life threatenng. There are so many worse things that could be wrong. My advice is make sure there is nothing wrong besides the tinnitus, get enough sleep, surround yourself with comforting noise...

This makes sense for many people but not for me. My tinnitus the high pitched constant ringing comes from a head injury, I was in a coma for 11 days. The boned in both ears were damaged, I had one reconstructed. I'm sure I have muscle damage and scar tissue in both ears which might account...

Hi Karen, I had the CAT scans. My doctor is now on vacation so I won't hear the results until the 16th, which to me is crazy. I hope that if anything is serious, I would find out before them. The test wasn't bad. It was the one with contrast and without. The most uncomfortable thing about the...

Hi Chris, I can understand what you are going through. Do you wear hearing aides? Sometimes wearing the hearing aid can mask the sounds because you hear more sounds. I find I can mask the heartbeat sounds when they are at a lower volume than the ringing. Have you tried a sound machine or a...

Thanks Karen. How long have you had tinnitus? I've had it for 40 years and this is the first time I can relate to people who understand what it is like. Have you ever had a Cat scan angiogram? I went on line to find out about them but quickly got off because I don't need to be scared right...

Right now my tinnitus is a high pitched ringing. A few minutes ago I had the whooshing sound of my heart beat. I welcome the normal tinnitus now because the heartbeat sounds are so loud. I am having a cat scan angiogram tomorrow on my neck and head and Friday on my left ear mastoid. A little...

I have been suffering with tinnitus since 12/121972 due to a car accident, today happens to be the anniversary, in which I was in a coma for 11 days. I was 16 years old then. I had the bones in both ears broken, I had surgery on my right ear at Mass Eye and Ear in 73 to regain some of my...
