I’m curious whether anyone with PT has noticed changes related to hormones.
Does your PT get louder or quieter at certain points in your menstrual cycle (before/during your period, around ovulation, etc.)?
Did your PT change after starting or stopping birth control?
Specifically: has anyone noticed PT-changes with the Mirena IUD (levonorgestrel)?
I am 26F and have pulsatile tinnitus (whoosh in sync with my heartbeat). My CT showed fenestral otosclerosis, but I have no hearing loss yet (100% hearing-score on the audiogram).
Is the otosclerosis a possible explanation for my PT?
My doctor said it cannot be the cause, as there is no hearing loss yet. However, I read that early otosclerosis is hypervascular and it is hypothesised that that could cause PT. It still remains rare, based on what I read online.
My question: Are there readers who recognise my symptom? Hearing the heartbeat as a whoosh before (!) the onset of hearing loss
I wonder if that’s alarming?
I did MRI MRA head that was clear and CT temporal bone that showed high jugular bulb with partial dehiscence that was declared as “the cause”.
It also showed fenestral otosclerosis, but my doctor said that could not be the cause as there is no hearing loss yet.
Should I be worried that my PT doesn’t respond to neck/vein pressure or head position? I am 26F
Any Dutch people here? I would love to contact you
