Wishing you well Doug, and so glad your surgery went smoothly! I hope your recovery is just as smooth. I hope you don't mind me asking, but was your PT always present, or did it come and go? I have intermittent PT on my left side, and am soon to have my scans. A bit nervous. All the very best.

I've had pulsatile tinnitus, unilateral (left side) for almost a year now. I had my carotid arteries checked, via doppler, and they came back fine. No worries there, I was told. Because my pulsatile tinnitus is not there all the time (it comes and goes, and can be gone for weeks, then suddenly...

Hi Sluggy, I sound rather similar to you. If you're still having this occur, see an ENT just to be sure. They'll do a few tests and make sure everything is fine. All the best.

Hello. I'll try and keep this succinct! I'm 29, and I've only been having pulsatile tinnitus for about 4 months or so, so fairly new to me. It started when I had some severe heart palpitations (due to a heart condition I have which is monitored by a cardiologist). A night after a...
