Tinnitus

General

  1. Does anyone suffer with this? It is has been driving me crazy for a couple of years now. It's a constant, high- pitched ringing in both ears. Sometimes it's subtle enough for me to ignore it, other times I just want to jump off a bridge. NS said there is no guarantee that it will go away with decompression. I'm at a loss. Am I the only one dealing with this symptom?

I have it. I also hear a pulse. I can take my pulse without doing anything. lol

Yes, about 7 yr ago the tinnitus began & has nearly driven me crazy and I also have the pulse/vibe in my head. I really need some medical attention, but I'm sort of on my own to figure out what to do and my mentality is fading fast. When I read about other chiari sufferers, I sympathize because I know what it is like to lose all normalcy of life. I wish you the best.

Yes I’ve had ringing for a really long time,it has come and gone even when I was a child.I had my surgery almost 10months ago,it was bad before and there is has been little improvement.I also have gushing too it is bétter but it still happens everyday.I wonder if it’s because the brain has been effected by the spinal flow,the brain has to adjust to a different flow or if the brain has been permantly damaged from pressure on the brain stem.I will be going back to my NS in Sept.I’ll ask him that question.
