Hi. I am new to this site so not sure how it all works. I suffer from pilsatile tinnitus - I hear my heart beat every second of every day in my right ear. I have had cat scans etc and no doctor can tell me what it is from or how to fix it. It is maddening! I did suffer from a sever case of facial shingles two months after the tinnitus started which made it worse but I'm not sure if it is related. Does any one else have this type of tinnitus? Do doctors ever weigh in on these discussion boards?
