    Intermittent Pulsatile Tinnitus

    Hi, I have PT as well, and have had it for 2.5 years now. It has definitely gotten better due to neck and shoulder exercises I've been doing (all the doctors I've seen have said they cannot find a physical cause for my PT, so I decided to try other things). There are many muscles in the neck...

    Diagnosis and Management of Somatosensory Tinnitus: Review Article

    I have the same problem as reeax! My PT began (I think) with a sinus infection and heavy weight lifting.

I realized I can replicate the silence when I stretch my back over the arm of my couch (tipping my head...

    Pulsing Medical Mystery

    This sounds very similar to mine (symptoms and test results), except I've never been pregnant. I found that tipping my head and shoulders over the arm of my couch (with my arms dangling to get a nice stretch in the shoulders) makes the noise go away for about 10 minutes. Also, the muscles on the...

    Pulsatile Tinnitus Caused by Bone Erosion?

    Hi all. I've been lurking here since my pulsatile tinnitus (unilateral, right side) showed up in November 2015. My symptoms started in conjunction with a sinus infection, but I'm not sure if this is a coincidence or not. After taking antibiotics for the infection, the noise has decreased...
