I have a pulsing in my ear that has been going on for a little over 2 weeks. It is most noticeable at night when lying down but will randomly appear throughout the day.
I am able to make it disappear by plugging my ear (either by putting pressure on it or physically putting finger in ear) but it will come back after plug is released.
Everything I have read on pulsatile tinnitus thus far seems to say it is vascular in origin.
So I would assume plugging my ear should make the pulsing louder if it was true pulsatile tinnitus?
I am sorry if this seems like a dumb post. I am just trying to figure out what's going on while I wait for an ENT appointment.
