My pulsatile t came after the new onset of tinnitus from either noise or vaccine. Structurally it looks fine with mri so I think people can have pulsatile without structure issues just my two cents. Well it’s pulsatile electrical crickets

If it's a whooshing sound, and it's in sync with your heart, it has to be pulsatile. Keep trying different doctors if you can. I don't know a whole lot about PT, but I think it has a chance of being treatable.

@Wrfortiscue I'm starting to think a good portion of people with PT don't have structural issues either. I didn't realize that noise could cause PT. Hopefully yours goes away :(

@kingsfan What does whooshing sound like exactly? I went onto the whooshers site, but none of the sound files sound like what I have. Mine reminds me more of like a bit of water being sucked through a straw, if that makes sense? It goes tsst. tsst. tsst.

@dolphinskin Here is a PT tone matcher. This should give you an idea of all the different sounds of PT:

PT is also objective, which means the doctor should be able to hear it too.

Thanks for the link! The closest I could get it to what I hear is this. The sound is different, but the pattern is correct (it just shifts depending on my pulse): https://www.checkhearing.org/pulsatiletinnitus.php?rangePitch=5&rangeHz=0.686&rangeLoudnessVari=0&toneType=buttonHum

An ENT listened with a stethoscope and couldn't hear it, so maybe it isn't PT??

I can’t seem to play your sound in the link.

@Steph1710 aaa no, I'll post it again, it works for me when I press the play button https://www.checkhearing.org/pulsatiletinnitus.php?rangePitch=5&rangeHz=0.686&rangeLoudnessVari=0&toneType=buttonHum

I've read that it can sometimes be difficult for the examiner to detect. I actually get a similar sound when I bend over and blood rushes to my head.. have had that my entire life.

Not to hijack but @kingsfan when you bend over do you hear the blood rushing to the ears? You can feel it too

@Wrfortiscue I hear like a ffff ffff ffff sound with my heartbeat. I used to hear my heartbeat thumping in my ears when I would lie down in bed at night too. I never thought anything of it. Thought it was normal.

I see. I’m hearing the pulsatile right now. It’s my electric squeal lol bZz bZz bZz bZz mainly after it’s been aggravated from sound
