      Hello all, I developed pulsating tinnitus in both my ears two years ago. The only thing I can relate it to is a prolonged tooth extraction where I sat two hours with my mouth wide open. Now, when I open my mouth the tinnitus increases, but when I push up on my jaw it lessens. Normal ear exam, pretty normal hearing exam for my age. Tried Calcium Carbonate without success. Use a sound machine at night to help me sleep. No one seems to understand how distracting this has become. I'm a RN and sometimes find it hard to concentrate on my job. Glad I found this forum, always looking for suggestions.

      No MRI yet, I need a doctor to take this serious.

      I thought your shirt said homo for a second but I saw it overlaid on Missouri and thought "No that can't be right".

      Good luck with that, from another RN.

      I never noticed exactly how much Georgia looks like Missouri.
