I have the same problem in my right ear. I was diagnosed with Otosclerosis twenty years ago with moderate hearing loss in the right ear. The ENT suggested a stapedectomy, which I wish I would have had done. He said it could go bad again so I opted for hearing aids which helped immensely. The pulsatile tinnitus mostly disappears when I sleep. It has gotten worse lately, so I either see the ENT about the surgery or go with a larger hearing aid and see if that helps, as I am having difficulty hearing with the right ear again.

Hello @dcike. It would probably be a good choice to see an ENT, since 20 years have passed since your diagnosis. A lot of progress can be made in 20 years. There may be new and better treatment options out there. Has anyone talked about a cochlear implant for you? I have chronic tinnitus from and acoustic neuroma and the other ear a cancer surgery plus radiation. As my hearing has diminished and stronger hearing aids are used, my ENT surgeon at Mayo CLinic said that Cochlear implants would improve my hearing even more. Just curious if the same is true for your case?
