Pulsatile Tinnitus Worse at Night?

I have pulsating tinnitus. I've had it for 5 months left ear. The pulsating went away for about 6 weeks and came back about a month ago. Does anyone know why it's worse at night??? Is there anything I can do to make it better at night? It doesn't bother me during day as much.

 

Agree w Karen. I try to wait until I am really really tired b/f turning in. I am finally able to sleep straight through most nights.

 

I have PT mainly in one ear and hear it mainly at night and after any form of exercise.

Try to consider it as a positive sign of still being alive and having a heart! It no longer causes any problem with falling asleep for me....I make a point of listening to it and relax to it(a bit like counting sheep ). Does depend on having a pretty regular heartbeat, though.

Good Luck.

 

I've had PT in my right ear from medication - temporarily. It was low pitched and I found it super annoying because I couldn't mask it with my usual Rainy Mood soundtrack. The earplug trick helped a bit for me.

 

Thanks everyone for the replies. Wish there was something to take to make it stop. I just wonder why it's much worse at night. I'll get up almost every night around 4 am and the pulsing is super loud??? I just feel like there has to be a reason why.
