Tinnitus and Blood Flow

Hi, @dmi, and welcome!

You may have a condition known as pulsatile tinnitus. It is usually vascular in nature, and may be intermittent or constant. I also have a high-pitched hissing/ringing, plus constant pulsatile tinnitus, in my right ear only. I've had mine for four years now, and it started suddenly, after I took blood pressure medicine.

There are many possible causes for pulsatile tinnitus, and it's good that you have had an MRI, and that it was clear. If you are concerned, you could schedule an appointment with a neurologist or neurotologist, who will probably know more about the condition.

Also, you could check out Whooshers.com, which is a website for people with pulsatile tinnitus. There is also a Facebook support group (closed group) for Whooshers, which you might want to join.

Did yours start suddenly? Do you experience any headaches? Sudden weight gain or weight loss? Any other changes in your health, such as accident or injury?

Glad you joined us; welcome!

 

@dmi ,

Thanks for that information. I'm glad you have an appointment with a neurologist, and hope that he will be able to shed some light on what might be causing the vibrations. Good luck, and I hope you'll update us when you learn more.

Best wishes,
Karen
