What Causes Increasing Tinnitus And Sound Of Pulse In Ears?
Hi - I developed Tinnitus when I was around 8-10 years old. I basically learned to live with it. Lately, it has been getting worse, or I m paying attention to it more (I m 55 now). I notice I can hear my pulse in my ear on top of the tinnitus, which may have always been there. Could there have been a structural problem when I was a kid that could be fixed?

Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to dural fistula (which is a vascular brain malformation). For this reason, I recommend performing a brain Angio-MRI in order to investigate on this issue. You should discuss with your doctor on this test.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
