Pulsatile tinnitus
What is it?
Pulsatile tinnitus, also known as rhythmic, vascular, or pulse-synchronous tinnitus is a rare form of tinnitus, which makes people hear steady beats in one or both ears. The noise seems to come from inside the body. It may be caused due to irregularities in blood vessels such as a narrowed carotid artery, high blood pressure, severe anemia, overactive thyroid gland, atherosclerosis, head and neck tumors and arteriovenous malformations.
