Some Progress with My Pulsatile Tinnitus

[Ree]

I've had PT and T for many years. Valium withdrawal caused both to become much louder in volume. That was one week ago. Yesterday for a few hours my PT seemed much lower in volume. Do you think I might be lucky for both to return to baseline in the near future?

It's hard to say; tinnitus and pulsatile tinnitus are so unpredictable! But I am hoping for you that it does go back down to baseline level.

Please keep us posted on how you're doing.

Best wishes,
Karen

Thank you so much Karen. Hope all is going well for you. Ree

@Ree,

Yours could be similar to mine. I had regular tinnitus in my right ear for many years, but it was mild. Mine got worse back in 2010, when I took a blood pressure drug, and then got myself off the drug quickly. I think that was what triggered my pulsatile tinnitus.

I still have both the T and PT today, but both have settled down to a more livable level. I hope yours does the same!

Best wishes,
Karen

Karen, I hope so, I've been through so much this year. I tapered off a blood pressure pill I was taking for two years because I know longer could tolerate
it. Not a very pleasant experience. That's way I started to take Valium. I was only on that four months on a very low doze. Withdrawal awful. I believe that's way my Pt and T became louder. Wish I never took that Benzo. Thank you for responding.
