I have been having this for 4 years now. I have had a MRA carotid ultrasound hearing test I went to at least 3 ents. I do take prednisone 10 mg daily but much longer than pt. It sometimes drives me however I try to function. One ent told me to take Claritin and I thought I tried it but I will try again . My pcp referred me again to an ent . I do take cardizem however but only for 1 year. I’m truly disappointed.

@babieray I have had tinnitus for several years only in the left ear …4 years ago I was diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension /lung volume issues . Year before last the Tinnitus became Pulsatile Tinnitus in the left ear. . I actually recorded it on my cell phone so that the Cardio Dr could hear it. A couple of months ago I was sitting Having lunch in my apt. All of a sudden the Tinnitus felt like it moved over to the right ear for a few minutes , then it all went quiet , then the right ear went quiet, and the Pulsatile part stopped in the left ear yet the Tinnitus part stayed . So as I write to you today just the Tinnitus is still in the left ear .
If I put my finger in my left ear I can fell my pulse however not in my right ear. it was really weird the way it happened and the Doctors have no explanation . I am happy that I no longer hear the swooshing . So I know how you feel . I’ve done a lot of research and spoke with several Doctors and one of my Doctors suggested that a nerve under the left ear could be infected / inflamed .
I should say that the Cardio Dr did have a brain scan done because as he said there is a known benign tumor that can be around the middle ear that could cause the Pulsatile part .however I was clear on that .
I hope what I have shared has been somewhat helpful to you . And I especially hope and pray that your Pulsatile part will stop one of these days soon. 🙏
