Usually benign: You most likely have what is called "pulsatile tinnitus." In a person your age, with no heart of vascular problems, it should be a benign condition. You did the right thing to have an ENT specialist evaluate it. So, this should be considered a aggravating condition. In almost all cases, although there is no treatment, it tends to come and go.
