Hi,
Have posted before about a pulsing noise (in time with my pulse) in my left ear. It came on during a very stressful time in my life, when I started to experience panic attacks. I have tinnitus of the highpitched screeching variety in both ears anyway and have had for years, doesn't bother me, I'm used to it. The pulsing noise is new.
Doc says probably gunk in eustachian tube and is also treating me for the anxiety and I think feels that this may also just be part of it. I am not convinced that this is the case. I would like a referral to an ENT person but the doc doesn't think it necessary. I have private medical (admittedly with a very high excess so I will have to pay for the appointment myself anyway)but can't get a referral! What to do - any advice on any of this including the pulsing in my ear ? It is only bad at night and is robbing me of sleep - I am not a very nice person to live with at the moment
