It is important to understand that there is a difference between common tinnitus and pulsatile tinnitus.

Pulsatile tinnitus is a rare condition that can cause feelings of actual vibration. It can be heard by an examining physician while common tinnitus cannot. Pulsatile tinnitus can be caused by more serious conditions related to blood pressure, heartrate, etc.

If this is what you are experiencing, it is important to see a specialist. Also to be able to explain it clearly to them.

I went to two specialists. ENT and a vascular physician. They both said pulsatile tinnitus is found in a lot of people and often not a problem. They did a CT angiogram and no vascular problems.
