      Tinnitus Since:
      12/12/1972
      I had a cat scan of my neck, ears and head. Everything was fine. I was sent to a neurologist today in case I has intercranial pressure causing the whooshing. He said that I do not have that but he believes that because I have a hearing loss in both ears the ear with the heartbeat sound is hypersensitive to sound to over compensate for the differences in hearing. Therefore I have an increased awareness of the blood flow near my ears. I'm just so happy it's nothing dangerous that I can deal with it. He does want me to take a medication, Lasix but I don't think I will. I don't like to take medication

      Oh I forgot, I am going to have an MRI to make sure he is correct. I also have carpal tunnel syndrome. Oh well! I think if your tinnitus is not serious, I'd rather learn to deal with it. I actually have had it since I was 16 and I'mm 55 now. Ya' think I've learned!!!

      Hi, Donna,

      Thanks for updating us on how you're doing. I'm glad to hear that you don't have intracranial hypertension, or any other serious conditions. I think what your neurologist said, that your ear is hypersensitive to sound to overcompensate for the differences in the two ears, makes a lot of sense!

      Good luck with the MRI; you're going through just about the same series of tests that I did. Looks like many of us with pulsatile tinnitus may be in a similar situation. I've often thought that mine was due to oversensitivy in my pulsating ear, too. I hope you'll update us on the results of your MRI. Best wishes, Karen
