Glad I Found This Site!

Hello all, I developed pulsating tinnitus in both my ears two years ago. The only thing I can relate it to is a prolonged tooth extraction where I sat two hours with my mouth wide open. Now, when I open my mouth the tinnitus increases, but when I push up on my jaw it lessens. Normal ear exam, pretty normal hearing exam for my age. Tried Calcium Carbonate without success. Use a sound machine at night to help me sleep. No one seems to understand how distracting this has become. I'm a RN and sometimes find it hard to concentrate on my job. Glad I found this forum, always looking for suggestions.

have you had an mri to check for problems with your blood vessels? is it a high freq pulsatile sound or low freq like whoosh whoosh? check out whooshers.com to see if you have anything similar.

No MRI yet, I need a doctor to take this serious.

I thought your shirt said homo for a second but I saw it overlaid on Missouri and thought "No that can't be right".

Good luck with that, from another RN.

I never noticed exactly how much Georgia looks like Missouri.
