One of my sons used to suffer from it - but that was mostly to do with the Thrash Metal gigs he went to. He started using ear plugs at them and it improved.
It`s an awful thing - I hope yours can be cured.

That is the first time I have heard it called Pulsatile Tinnitus. My best description http://www.dogsey.com/showthread.php?t=170124 was just a whooshing noise which seemed to be at the same rhythm as my pulse.

It still frequently drives me nuts, and no, I have not seen my GP about it - yet.

it was what google searches + journal articles referred to it as, and which best matched my symptoms.

I went to the gp and everything in my ears look normal. they then checked my BP, the systolic is up at 145 so i need to go back in 2 weeks time to get it rechecked
