Tea kettle whistle in ear

Postby Doleta » Fri Mar 16, 2018 1:42 pm

I just realized a strange health problem has disappeared!
Anyone else have this experience?
For about the last 8 years I had a teakettle like whistle in my right ear when I would take a pulse on my neck while exercising!
The sound of whistle pulsed right along with HR.
Then it got so I could even hear it just from turning my neck to the left.
I mentioned it to my GP (he has since passed) and he just shrugged his shoulders.
Now it is completely gone!
I am thinking that my carotids were possibly clogged up with cholesterol, and now is clear.
I could be wrong.
It is encouraging to have this strange health issue gone though.
Any thoughts? :wink:

Maybe less inflammation overall.

What you describe sounds like somatosensory tinnitus https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3129953/
You don't have to wait to be happy.

Wow! Them was a lot of fancy words.
But the parts I could understand made sense!
Thank you for that wonderful article! :-D

Interesting. My bilateral tinnitus inceases in volume/pitch when I tighten my jaw muscles. I originally assumed the affliction was chemically induced after I read one of Dr. McDougall’s articles re: arthritis & aspirin (my tinnitus first started last year while on prolonged analgesia therapy with a previously untried medication). But, now I suspect the condition may be somehow associated with the cervical muscular/skeletal pain issue that prompted the therapy (?).
Too bad the involved treatments suggested in the linked article seem overly troublesome to treat a condition that is merely annoying, especially since the prognosis is so generally pessimistic.
