Mine changed - perhaps slightly diminished (PTA 3 times), but I still have it. It did used to be three simultaneous tones ranging between 6 tones, but seems to be down to one tone at once, varying between two different tones.

I am completely deaf in the ringing ear (how weird is that?).

I am investigating BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) in relation to my dizziness problems, and the tinnitus.

Turbulent blood flow. Narrowing or kinking in a neck artery (carotid artery) or vein in your neck (jugular vein) can cause turbulent blood flow, leading to tinnitus

It's important to distinguish types of tinnitus. Pulsatile tinnitus, as described above, may be likely to respond to ccsvi treatment.

I don't have pulsatile tinnitus, but I have some neurological tinnitus.

This was discussed very briefly at the patient day yesterday.

Hi, there!! Thanks for sharing tinnitus treatment information here. My grandfather is having tinnitus since six month and we have already visited couple of ENTs for the treatment. Now they also suggested us to follow the CCSVI.
