Constant tinnitus: Are there any solutions?

Hearing loss left ear, pulsatile tinnitus right ear
I've been experiencing PT for a few months. I saw an ENT, who did a hearing test. My hearing in the ear with PT is fine, but my other ear has hearing loss. I had a
MRI of my inner auditory canals / posterior fossa with and without IV contrast today, and it was normal. The MRI was to see if I have an acoustic neuroma, not for the PT. ENT told me since hearing and pressure was normal in that ear to "ignore" the PT. Anyone have PT in one ear, and hearing loss in the other?

ENTs will only be of service to you, if you present something in a way that can be of service to them, by way of surgery. ENT issues are subjective. They will only care to treat objective (what they can see). Any sensory issues/discomfort, you are on your own. I would recommend any type of person who is in tune to the whole body connection and is outside of the western medicine world for ways to cope.
@mdzent28 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, a place to give and get support.
May I ask if pulsatile is a new symptom? I assume that it is. It sounds like you are going through all of the necessary testing and it's important that you connect with members for support.
You'll notice that I moved your question to an existing discussion. I did this so you could connect with members like @kimjensch @mikepa @sms89 @marpow @johneckenrode11 @mickeyb2 @katydid77 @bradmm @mar2a @fbw @mimimayo @mrbill @amberj @2beagles @johnwhite @jesslim88 @december1011 that may be able to offer information, suggestions, and support.
May I ask why you have hearing loss in the other ear?

Obviously the good doctor has never been afflicted with pulsatile tinnitis himself or he would never have said for you to ignore it. Those of us who have it sympathize with you.
