What helped temporarily was putting pressure on my neck right below my ears. That seemed to slow the blood flow down a bit and I was actually able to hear the people talking to me. With my twin pregnancy I went to a osteopath and he showed me some stretches and while I was reluctant whether that was going to help they totally did. It was just a lot of streching of the neck and shoulders. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pulsatile-tinnitus-help#post-2839757 Tue, 14 Aug 2018 19:27:47 +0000 Iced Tea 2839757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had this problem some too. It usually subsided after I was laying down relaxing for a while, but I turned my white noise machine up to full volume to drown it out otherwise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pulsatile-tinnitus-help#post-2839617 Tue, 14 Aug 2018 09:33:53 +0000 RKitty 2839617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get water build up behind my ear drums due to allergies. And it sounds similar to this but it can effect my balance. It only happens when my allergies are bad typically Aug &amp; Sept. I just make sure to take my daily zyrtec and it stays away. So I'd try an allergy med first to see if it helps. Ive done it with both pregnancies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pulsatile-tinnitus-help#post-2839607 Tue, 14 Aug 2018 09:03:28 +0000 bhbee 2839607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you take steroid nasal spray like Flonase or Rhinocort? Both are otc/generic now. I took Rhinocort this whole last pregnancy, and since it’s locally acting there’s less worry than most meds. It might help?? </p> <p>It also could be worth trying sudafed - you can’t take it all the time in pregnancy but it does a great job drying things up and really helps my allergy related ear pain (when not pregnant I took it a lot). I can’t take it at night and still sleep but it doesn’t affect everyone that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pulsatile-tinnitus-help#post-2839583 Tue, 14 Aug 2018 07:34:30 +0000 lioneyes 2839583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have pulsatile tinnitus in my right ear. It sounds like a constant beating heart/whooshing noise and my ear feels clogged. Depending on how I turn my head it gets better or worse (so when I'm in bed trying to sleep it's at its worst). This is most likely pregnancy related because of increased bloodflow, though I'm sure seasonal allergies aren't helping.</p> <p>Any fellow sufferers? Any tips to make it better or GO AWAY? I am considering acupuncture- I was going monthly until I got pregnant, but the thought of needles in my front is making me sick and panicky(used to go for back/stress issues so I'd lay on my stomach and that didn't bother me). </p>
