Poll: Have You Also Experienced Pulsatile Aspects of Your Tinnitus?

[Tinniger]

Many tinnitus sufferers experience different hearing noise events.
Some people are also familiar with pulsed sounds.
How about you guys?

I was just wondering if a pulse-synchronous pattern of tinnitus does not rule out the possibility that tinnitus is noise-induced.
Because it's illogical that a noise-induced tinnitus is pulse-synchronous, isn't it?

Tinnitus can be modulated by your pulse. It is known as somatosensory pulsatile tinnitus. If you are interested most of the work on this was done by a guy called Levine. Mine is like this, a very high pitched electronic hiss that is perfectly in sync with my pulse.

Thank you, I know Levine's publications.
E.g.: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4134893/
But usually also somatosensory pulsatile tinnitus is not described as a result of noise...

Yes, I get a variety of sounds which are different almost everyday. They range from ultra high frequency (fizz/sizzle), high, mid, low and a gentle hiss. Some days they monotone and other days multiple. These are not pulsatile.
It's an ultra low bass frequency I regularly get in addition to the ones mentioned above that is in sync with my heart beat. Moving my head/neck changes it's loudness to an extent - forward it gets louder but looking up it gets much quieter. Makes me think it's some vascular issue also going on.

And which explanation have the 9 voter with "yes". Is it wooshing?
