Pulsating tinnitus is described as a rhythmic pulsing sound, in time with your heartbeat, in your ears. We look at some of the principle symptoms of this condition and show you some tips to rid yourself of pulsating tinnitus.

It can sound like a whooshing or thumping sound. Its causes are different from continuous tinnitus. However, the two types of tinnitus can co-exist and it’s not unusual for the pulsating tinnitus to be menstioned as a side effect of continuous tinnitus; here you find that the continuous one’s sound is modified by the pulsations of the pressure of blood caused by your heartbeat.

True pulsating tinnitus mainly comes from within the head or neck region blood vessels when a disturbed flow of blood happens. This results from a change to the size of the blood vessel, either a widening or narrowing, either of which can cause a turbulent blood flow that can be heard in the ears.

The onset of pulsatile tinnitus can be a signal of a more serious medical condition. Such conditions need specialist investigation so that they can be treated if they are serious.

Some examples of causes and tips to rid yourself of pulsating tinnitus are…

Fluid in the middle ear. This is normally an air filled space. As a result of an infection fluid can accumulate here. Fluids transmit sound more directly than air and so the sound of the heartbeat becomes more noticeable. Normally this is cured when the underlying infection is treated.

High blood pressure – hypertension – can cause turbulent blood flow or some pressure on the inner ear which changes with heartbeat. This type normally responds to blood pressure reduction medication.

High pressure in the skull’s fluid – Your skull protects the brain from shocks by a fluid. When people become overweight this fluid’s pressure can rise and cause tinnitus effects like hypertension. This needs expert medical examination, tests and confirmation. Diuretic treatment and weight management measures are often successful.

Bleeding in the brain. Sometimes, often as a result of brain injury or ageing, the arterial blood supply to the brain makes a direct connection to the veins returning blood to the heart by passing the capillaries. This increases the speed of flow of bllod and so causes uneven blood flow in the neck which is then heard by your ear. Again this is perceived as a noise at the rate of your heartbeat. Again, this needs specialist analysis and treatment which may involve surgery.

Atherosclerosis is medical term for the narrowing of the artery resulting from cholesterol build-up on the internal artery wall. This narrowing reduces the size of the artery and results in turbulent blood flow that makes the pulsatile tinnitus sounds. This normally happens to older patients with a history of high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol or diabetes, angina and/ or smoking. Medication treatment is the norm, and works well.

This list is not complete and there are several other possible root causes that you can treat by yourself – but only after a professional has checked for more serious causes like those listed above. You should always undergo a medical evaluation to make certain that serious consequences, such as stroke, will be spotted and treated or avoided.
