I laughed out loud at Thomas's sleep process, so thank you for that. Mine is similar - Mozart on my tablet to a bluetooth speaker, fan on, air conditioner (got a window one last year and everyone says they're so loud, but the "wall of sound" it creates works for me), and in really bad times...

yes Melike, it is very frustrating. Moving my ears don't make any difference to my sounds and I have multiple regular T sounds. The PT is constant and only changes in volume depending on where I press. If I press down on my head the PT will almost stop for a minute or so. It's pretty much...

Greg, I've read about the bones in the ear that can vibrate, and occasionally get rumbling sounds in my ears too, but the PT is distinct, always there, high-pitched ssssshhhhh sound (same tone almost as the steady hissing in the other ear) in time with the pulse. The only thing that reduces the...

Thanks for replying Greg. Do you think one of these tests would help, even though I don't expect the dentist to be familiar with PT? Wondering why you had 6! What do you mean by the PT may have an association with the soft palate? I did have a tooth pulled from that upper side less than a...

Hi, I've had pulsatile tinnitus for about 10 years now (and no more habituated today than when it started) and have had a full vascular workup, many doctors look at my scans, and no vascular cause can be found. I've almost given up on that type of testing. The pulsatile tinnitus comes from a...

I've been following this thread for awhile and am sorry to hear that the treatment in the Netherlands isn't available to anyone outside the Netherlands as I was prepared to go there at some point! I have PT and T, both for about 10 years now; the PT is by far the worse one to deal with. Has...

Comfie bed and pillows. I usually go to sleep with Mozart (Mozart for Meditation Cd). My bigger problem usually is waking up a few hours later and not being able to get back to sleep. For that, i have a sound machine, a tablet which i use to play utube audio talks, and my phone nearby if i...

I find this very interesting, thanks for posting, RicoS. I am in Canada so not easy to check it out from here. I have both PT and T, but it's the PT that drives me up a wall, almost every day for 7 years (I occasionally get hours or even a day where I don't pay as much attention) . I've had...

I've just been madly pushing fingers and ear plugs into my ears, but not with any success! I would be thrilled with any break from the whooshing, but it doesn't seem to make much difference and I have to hold the plug in the ear to get any reduction. I can move my jaw just slightly and get a...

Good, MRI is usually where they usually start with the testing. If you need more information on PT, there is a lot on the site www.whooshers.com, and some very knowledgable and helpful people in the related Facebook group. Some of us have to put a lot of effort into getting the PT diagnosed...

Hi, thanks for the suggestions. I've been at this for years now, so I've tried a lot of masking techniques, and I don't find them very effective for the PT because I can hear it and the fan or white noise at the same time. I was wondering if there is a way to train my brain to ignore the...

Hi, Has anyone tried any kind of sound therapy for pulsatile tinnitus? I have both PT and T, and I know there is quite a bit of info on here and research going on for sound therapy for T. Myself, I find the pulsing more annoying than the buzzing. I've undergone most of the imaging tests...
