      I had a CT with contrast and it came back with SCDS.

      This is not a vascular cause - just for those who insist that all pulsatile tinnitus is vascular. It is not.

      For anyone else who is wondering I’ll summarize my symptoms:

      -high pitched, cardiosynchronous pulsing.
      -usually audible but varies from very loud to barely audible.
      -made worse when exposed to sound (seems to make other SCDS symptoms worse for people that suffer from vertigo, etc as well).
      -pressure down on top of head will attenuate the pulsing sound substantially.
      -minor headaches, pressure pains, etc, not as severe as some others report with SCDS.
      -worse at night, best in the morning.
      -cardio helps.
      -hydration helps.
