Question 8

i have pulsate tinnitus. the whooshing is so annoying and uncomfortable especially when its in my head as well as my ears. it gets worse when exercising. is there anything at all that can help treat this?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Consult an ear nose throat specialist (otolaryngologist) - ideally one that focuses primarily on the ears, to work with you on this.  Since your symptoms are worse with exercise it is probably due to the increase in blood pressure, so “maybe” a beta blocker could help (however this is only a hypothesis) treatment would be dependent on your baseline BP &amp; any other contributing factors.

Question 9

how is the treatment for multiple sclerosis? will my tinnitus (caused by multiple sclerosis) go away after i treat it?

Accepted Answer

Immune modulation: Treatment for ms is changing. The older medications required injections either daily to once a week. These medications reduced relapse rates and disability compared to no medication. Newer oral medications are much more effective in altering immune function, with much improved relapse rate reduction and disability. In regard to tinnitus, treatment will not cure it, but could prevent worsening.

Accepted Answer

It  depends: Tinnitus from serous otitis media may resolved after treatment if there is no sensorineural hearing lost in that same ear. See an ENT doctor if tinnitus persists!
