...Pulsatile Tinnitus Is Such an Illusive Malady...

Good morning everyone,

Research, research research... oh my... such a complicated, albeit illusive malady, stemming from who knows where or what, so many variables.

Pulsatile tinnitus, has many root causes, frustrating to say the least...

• Conductive hearing loss
• Perforated ear drum
• Glue ear (otitis media)
• Sinus wall abnormalities (SSWA)
• Benign or idiopathic intracranial hypertension...

Just to name a few. Whew.

Mine was set off by excessive sinus infection (my first ever). I can't attribute it to anything else... this last month has been not fun... although I do have hearing loss, and had a perforated ear drum at a young age, which has come back to haunt me, perhaps. I'm still searching.

Upon more research, I came across a most interesting website: rarediseases.org ... quite interesting. Check it out.

Positive thought of the day: "The grass is greener where you water it..."

Never give up...
