    New Here! Struggling with Positional Pulsatile Tinnitus

    Aaaaaaaaand CT Scan was normal. Back to the drawing board now. Going back to the ENT in January for follow up. Soonest I could get. I just don't know what to think now.

    New Here! Struggling with Positional Pulsatile Tinnitus

    I have an update! I finally saw the ENT today. I also had a hearing test done. My hearing test came back 100% normal. Surprisingly, I had NO fluid in my ear. I was shocked! Then I started to get nervous. I had convinced myself that my PT was from fluid and that we were going to find a solution...

    Pulsatile Tinnitus Only at Certain Angles

    @Greg Sacramento I had an ultrasound of my carotid arteries done and that came out normal as well. Will probably call my dentist on Monday to look into the infection route. I have zero tooth pain, mouth pain, gum pain, though.

    Pulsatile Tinnitus Only at Certain Angles

    @Lous22 This is EXACTLY how mine is, too! Please, let's keep each other updated. So far I've had an MRA done which came back clean. I saw an audiologist for a hearing test which was normal, and she said I had no fluid in my ears. My doctors all told me I had fluid in my middle ear causing this...

    New Here! Struggling with Positional Pulsatile Tinnitus

    Random update! Still waiting on my ENT appointment. About a week and a half ago the PT got worse. Loudest it has ever been. My ear also started hurting a lot. Convinced I had an ear infection and scared of the change in PT intensity, I went and saw another doctor in my practice. She said zero...

    New Here! Struggling with Positional Pulsatile Tinnitus

    @tiniturtle I think one of the reasons they referred me to the ENT is because I still have fluid in my middle ear. The last doctor I saw said it wasn't a huge amount or anything, but that there is a little bit in there. Combined with my PT being positional and the clean MRA, I guess they figured...

    New Here! Struggling with Positional Pulsatile Tinnitus

    I made my appointment with the ENT but it is not until November. They also want me to do a hearing test first. The receptionist I spoke to on the phone said she was very concerned that I was having PT this long and I needed the hearing test ASAP. So of course I got scared - health anxiety...

    Pulsatile Tinnitus & 2 Weeks Postpartum

    Congrats on the baby! Postpartum is such a difficult time with your body figuring out how to work again and recover all at the same time. Hang in there, mama! I would simply start with your primary care physician. If you don't get solutions or feedback from him/her, reach out to your OB/GYN...

    What Exactly Does Your "Pulsatile Tinnitus" Sound Like...?

    Mine is exactly like this, too!

    New Here! Struggling with Positional Pulsatile Tinnitus

    Thank you, tiniturtle! You have been very helpful and I appreciate it so much. I will definitely post when I hear back from the MRA. I stress about aneurysms because we have a family history. I had an MRI/MRA done in 2015 and those showed up clean. Hoping nothing vascular has developed since.

    New Here! Struggling with Positional Pulsatile Tinnitus

    So I had an ultrasound and an MRA performed today. I thought I was getting an MRI also, but that wasn't in the order. Have to follow up on that. The ultrasound tech said everything looked great with the neck/carotid arteries. I am still waiting for the MRA results. Is no news good news? I had...

    New Here! Struggling with Positional Pulsatile Tinnitus

    Thank you for the response! I see from your posts you had a DAVF diagnosed via MRA? I'm worried about this being one of the things I potentially have. Throughout the day I really don't hear it unless my head is tilted. When I tilt, I almost hear a rush of whoosh first, like a roaring sound, and...

    New Here! Struggling with Positional Pulsatile Tinnitus

    Hello! I am very grateful to have found this forum. I have had PT since mid-August 2019. I had pneumonia at the end of July which resolved, and did not have PT during this illness. A few weeks after I was feeling better, I randomly started noticing a whoosh in my right ear and that's when this...
