    I've got PT too. Now that's something I've never been able to get used to. Does my head in. I suppose it's as much as a feeling, as it is a sound. Is yours in time with your heartbeat? And have you tried pressing on your neck to see if you can stop the sound?

    Yes, it changes pitch and times with my heartbeat. I can feel it as well. Gets worse when I exercise, which is the worst because that's one of the few things that distract me :( Where should I press my neck? Also everything keeps getting worse. It's really hard to try and stay positive here. The fact that it's unexplainable makes me go crazy sometimes, because I'm a person who likes to get to the bottom of things.

    Do you hear it in both ears or just one? I have left sided PT, and If I gently pressed on the left side of my neck, where the jugular is, then the sound stops, because I'm stopping the blood flow.

    Oh I understand the frustration! I lived for exercise and being outdoors - PT completely destroyed that for me. If I even go for a walk, the beating is through the roof!
