Who Else Has Had Tinnitus Their Whole Life?

Hello! I just joined. I'm 26 and just recently got married.

I've had tinnitus my whole life (I have pulsatile tinnitus). It ebbs and flows, though some days I hardly notice it, some days I hate it and I cry. My husband is very supportive though, but nobody really understands what's going on.

I get health insurance in July and I'm going to an ENT because I suspect something else is going on because I feel a pressure and fullness in my ears, mostly my left one. And it discharges. And my ears pop constantly, when I'm chewing, swallowing, yawning or for no reason.

If you have something similar please respond, I'd love to talk about it.

 

Hello, @Tabatha T, it is nice to meet you.

Congratulations on your recent marriage, your husband sounds like a good guy, we need all the support we can get. I am not able to offer much advice due to the fact that my tinnitus is not pulsatile. I am sure another member will be able to respond, soon. I do know how tinnitus can ebb and flow and what an emotional rollercoaster it can be.

Going to the ENT is a wise decision, in my opinion.
