Unilateral Pulsatile Tinnitus (UPT) is a condition where an affected person hears pulse-like sounds (whooshing, ringing, popping, and buzzing) in one ear, whereas bilateral Pulsatile Tinnitus will affect both ears. Persons suffering from this disorder can hear the resonance of their own pulse or heartbeat that causes the pulsating sounds in their ear.Ringing In My Ears Won't Go Away
Tinnitus symptoms typically fall under two different categories: objective and subjective. Objective tinnitus is where a physician (with a medical tool of course) can actually hear the sound(s), and subjective tinnitus is where the patient alone can only hear the ringing sounds.
Pulsating tinnitus is an uncommon type of tinnitus and can be associated with other serious ailments such as:
Meniere's Disease - Triggered by irregular inner ear fluid pressure and related to a vast majority of inner ear problems, this is one of the most common causes of tinnitus.
Middle Ear Effusion - Inflammation of the Eustachian tubes causes excessive fluid buildup and infection in the middle ear. Generally affects middle-aged persons. /?040710" Ringing In My Ears Won't Go Away
Atherosclerotic Carotid Artery Disease - Excessive cholesterol buildup that creates an uneven flow of blood to the head and neck area causes the arteries to become narrow... giving rise to the pulsating heartbeat sound in the ear. Elderly persons with a history of high blood pressure, diabetes and hypertension are mostly associated with this ailment.
Glomus tumor - Blood vessels and tissues become entangled in the middle ear or surrounding area causing tinnitus.
Unfortunately, there are no miracle drugs or over the counter medication to cure this mind-boggling ringing in the ear. But nonetheless, there are many touted products in the market that persuade you to believe otherwise. From herbal remedies like Gingko Biloba or Black Cohosh to homeopathy programs that appear as one of the most effective alternative to drugs and medication. The fact of the matter is that most of these remedies only provide marginal relief and in most cases create negative side effects that outweigh the benefits.
The good news is that although there are many bogus remedies on the market, pulsating tinnitus CAN be treated effectively without resorting to drugs, surgery, or psychiatric treatments. However, if you choose to ignore the treatment of UPT, it definitely won't go away on by itself. If you suffer from Unilateral Pulsatile Tinnitus, you should seek medical attention right away as this can turn into a very serious condition in a very short period of time. /?040710" Ringing In My Ears Won't Go Away
