Pulsating Tinnitus from ETD

I've been battling pulsating tinnitus since Jan 2015 after a sinus infection and ear infection. It's my right ear only. I've been Dx with Eustachian tube dysfunction and chronic fluid in ear. Have tried steroids, Allegra d, mucinex, garlic oil, ear candling and nasal irrigation. Some work better then others. The nasal irrigation gives me most relief. I had this same issue two years ago, it did clear up with time, about 6 months. So here I am waiting again pulsating away consistently feeling ear pressure and pain. Anyone else have some other recommendations?

 

The only true things that work could be Campral, trobalt or keppra. There's not much else...If you wanna be herbal, then try cats claw, some people have found relief using it.

 

Can they not do a myringotomy or grommets for the fluid?

 

@Nole I also thought mine may be due to ETD because it first started with an intense pressure/plugged feeling in my ears that went down but the pulsing has not stopped. I also noticed when I push on veins on my neck the pulsing stops. I am curious if you can stop yours by pushing like that? Perhaps mine is similar to yours.

Thanks!

@Nole: I have a high pitch pulsating Tinnitus around 12000 hz. It started January this year after a sinus infection and fluid in ear. The infection cleared up in Februari, and the fluid disappeared end of March. I still have pulsating Tinnitus in right ear and also a sound in the left ear. The pulsating Tinnitus in my right ear is the most difficult to handle, it is sometimes even noticed during tv sounds, or during a conversation. It fluctuates in volume over the day, sometimes it is not noticable. I also have intermittend pain in my right ear, definitely a kind of phantom pain, no infection. How is your situation now?
