    Pulsating Fullness

    Sorry I didn't reply here, totally slipped by me. I haven't had tests done. Last that happened is I went to see an ENT who suggested MEM (Middle ear myoclonus), specifically involvement with the stapedius muscle. I have other symptoms which are consistent with TTTS, which is primarily what I...

    Pulsating Fullness

    Hi folks, Interested to know if anyone has had a pulsating fullness/muffled ear? Although I do occasionally get a typical whoosh, more often than not it is a fullness.

    Tinnitus, Pulsatile Tinnitus, Tonic Tensor Tympani Syndrome?

    Hi folks, Thought I would post here to get your collective wisdom. For at least 10 years I have had some hearing issues in my right ear, mainly in situations with high background noise. My ear will feel full and everything will be slightly quieter in that ear, I also occasionally get a...
