My Pulsatile Tinnitus recording
I have two types of tinnitus, the normal kind and pulsatile tinnitus. The latter is harder to explain to people but mine is objective and linked to my heart pulse. The normal therapy doesn't work for me, listening to whale song at night doesn't help. I captured this sound by simply putting my mobile phone near my ear and pressing record. Imagine how loud it sounds to me inside my ear when a phone can record it outside. Some days it is like I have a bass drum banging in my ears. I was told by the 'specialist' that I had to get used to it, millions of people have tinnitus and I needed to come to terms with it. I tried to explain that I had both types of tinnitus and I had come to terms with the other kind but this bass drum was not the same in any way, yet it was being treated as the same condition. I was basically told to man up and deal with it. It just went away overnight about a year ago after 2 years of hell. Waking up that morning was blissful. The tinnitus was still there but I couldn't hear my heart beat. I thought to myself, it's just temporary, it will come back. Day after day I expected it to come back but it didn't. A year later it was still gone. However, it came back a couple of months ago as a whisper of its former self, almost like listening to the audio clip now rather than having it inside my ear but it was only a few seconds at a time rather than permanent. If I really concentrate I can feel it but not hear it at the moment. Does anyone else have recordings of their own tinnitus?
