Possible Ear Infection
Hi all-
I haven't been on here in quite some time but I need some feedback please.
Long story short, I've unilateral pulsatile tinnitus in my right ear for four years. It took some time but I've gotten used to it over the years, give or take a few bad days here and there.

This past year I've suffered with at least five double ear infections. And they are horrible. I've had this my whole life but recently, it's been pretty painful.

The doctor I saw at the urgent care said to contact my current ENT and inquire about getting tubes put in. I had these when I was a kid.

My question is, anyone else suffer with pulsatile tinnitus and currently have tubes as an adult? Did it make it worse? Better? Stayed the same? I'm not looking for a cure. I just don't want it to get any worse.

Hope to hear from you.
Nicole
