Pulsatile tinnitus
Started getting heart beat sounds in right ear only. Got an MRA to check the arteries (no results yet). Strangely the sounds start in the evening and continue when I go to bed. I have no idea why it's quiet during the day. Has anyone else had this experience. If my arteries are okay in my brain then I have to look for other causes. Any ideas. I checked medication side effects but that doesn't seem to be the cause. One night I exercised in the evening and I had no sounds, but that didn't work yesterday. I'm perplexed.

Is this the website for advice for doctors? If not, could anyone let me know the website to ask for advice from doctors? I have had pulsatile tinnitus for two and a half months. I checked all the causes of pulsatile tinnitus and found I had none of the causes except my blood pressure was a little bit high at 135/80. I tried to change my diet. My blood pressure went from 135/80 to 125/70 for about a month. Why do I still have pulsatile tinnitus? Will pulsatile tinnitus disappear after blood pressure goes down? Thank you very much for your help.

I have it when my vagus nerve is “not toned”. Had it for months and minths. Then started at least 30 minutes of cardio most days on treadmill or elliptical using interval training. Seldom have it now.

1 ReactionI can hear my heart beating more like a swooshing since I got tubes in my ears for Eustachian tube disfunction. I also can't hear my voice and I hear like I'm talking in a tunnel. At this point I don't know that there is a solution. I do feel like I have some hearing loss and I'm thinking about hearing aids hoping they will help with hearing other people's voices better. As far as the tunnel thing, I think all there is to do is hope it will get somewhat better.
Thank you so much. I will reply with the results
Awesome, can’t wait to hear!🥰
