Constant tinnitus: Are there any solutions?

Yes, louder after Moderna #2. I have pulsatile tinnitus (“ whoosh” of blood flow 24/7).

No, but my tinnitus is chronic and intense 24/7. I just received my second Pfizer today.

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?

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.

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?

...its days like this it''s hard to be positive... I have found connect to be so helpful in many many areas but seems for my non-life-threatening issues there is no stopping them hurting.... having ct scan Tuesday and maybe i am no alone in thinking in one way , hope they dont find anything wrong; yet in another.. hope they find something thats causing all this - at least family might realize i have been suffering.... honestly do not know how so many folk are getting through their illnesses... heroes in my book.... black thought keep going through my mind and i get an hour or so feeling near normal and doesnt seem so bad, only to come flooding in with the next wave of pain, pressure etc.... when i had 3 attacks week ago similar to dizzy but worse, double vision, etc., and asking what to do when got home if happened again was told to take Tylenol... come on!! At least clinic is getting ct done.... but can I live with results ?? not just a pity party today, but a making up my mind type of day....wish I didnt have family to consider in my plans. Would I swap my illnesses for another's, doubt it..... hope to find some inner strength - husband thinks cup of tea will make me better... so sad!

In the morning I take 2 pills of pregabalin (lyrica): constituting 150 mg, along with 20 mg of amitriptyline and 12mg of metoprololol. Repeat dose in the evening. It helps reduce the ringing for about 5 hrs. after each dose.

@willows Thanks. Many years ago first visit to Neurologist for head rushes he gave me Amitriptyline... next morning I was very distressed plus the cotton mouth so didnt keep taking; then a few years ago I had my DNA done and right at top of list it says under "Major gene-drug interaction" 5 drugs under Psychiatry and first one is Amitriptyline... so my body was not wrong those years ago... but I dont see Pregabalin/lyrica in the report - wish it was on a usb stick so I could search on internet. Metoprolol is on the list as "moderate gene-drug interaction under Cardiovascular?
I really dont understand all of this report except it says I am TPMT genotype with DPYD but no one followed up on the Report and it sits here gathering dust!
Tinnitus is almost 24/7 now with pain and a bit of tmj no doubt... and in itself used to be able to cope with but with other medical issues and old age it's changed my life as I knew it. 🙁
