Hi Angie, Thank you for getting back to me. The next time I see my ENT I will ask him about it. My cousin has tinnitus in her right ear. She told me the heartbeat noise is normal, and they can't do anything about it. I don't know if her doctor told her that. She said it also bothers her more when she tries to go to sleep. Which we know is hard to do. You would think in this day of modern technology they would have medicine or a procedure to eliminate this. I wonder how many people like us have this problem? I will post again if I can find out anything. Thx very much for writing me back.
