A member asked:
Why does pulsatile tinnitus with intercranial hypertension change volume and pitch daily or weekly? what makes the sound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood flow.: The sound is probably from blood rushing through narrowed veins and should change with your body position and how hydrated you are. If you have IIH with pulsatile tinnitus, you may benefit from a new procedure to treat IIH using stents. Contact your neurosurgeon for more information.
