Just watched CTV News in Canada.

At a Toronto hospital, a new procedure has been done on 2 patients to relieve tinnitus and it is proving to be successful for "pulsatile tinnitus".

God dammit. Why does it have to be pulsatile?

Because PT is unrelated to tinnitus and has different causes.

This isn't a new procedure. I've had this done.

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.

I've had this done too and it was no big deal. It was part of the treatment for a dural arteriovenous fistula. In the right transverse/sigmoid sinus vein.

So it is becoming a procedure that is getting accepted I hope. I've been surfing internet to see if it is also done in the Netherlands... but didn't find anything... Are there any other countries besides Canada and the US?
