Group,
I've had hissing T for a couple years now. The last few months I
started hearing my heart beat 'whooshing' in both ears. It came on
gradually. The sound is not unlike the sound of a fetus heartbeat as
heard on an ultrasound machine. Needless to say, this was an unwelcome
development. The whooshing was most prevalent when laying down to sleep
and this month it had been constant... until last Friday. Here's what
happened.
I made a doc. appt on Tues. I got an appt next day due to the symptoms
I described over the phone to the scheduling desk. I was very short of
breath, a low grade cough for the last couple months, low grade
headached, joint aches, tired muscles. Doc. listened to all this, had
me do a chest xray and get a blood sample. I went back to work. He
phoned me a couple hours later... Has anyone guessed?
He said I was 'very' anemic. He said he wanted someone else (not me)
to drive me to the hospital immediately and check in to a room. I did
that. Over the next 28 hours they pumped 5 bags ( a total of 1.5
liters) of blood into a tiny hole in my right arm. They took a
bonemarrow biopsy but that is story for a diff newsgroup. Apparantly
the normal level of hemoglobins in an adult male is 12-14. I had a 6.
I was missing a whole bunch of blood and my blood had very limited
oxygen-carrying capacity. Looking at the palms of my hands before and
after the transfusions really tell the story. My palms where yellow.
Now they a pink and plump like they should be. My face has more color.
Here's the point of this post: The whooshing is totally gone. Sigh, the
T is still alive and well though. I think I've learned to habituate it
over the last couple years so it doesnt drive me crazy. The T with the
whooshing WAS driving me crazy.

That´s interesting i´ve got that wooshing from a while ago and
exactly what you say when i lay down to sleep i hear on my left ear
like the sound of a distant plane flying by (like the A320) it hears
like a whisper but if you read my post about the experiments i tryed to
slowdown my tinnitus when i had that rush of sound i heard it perfectly
comming from my blood stream i think it´s absolutley related to blood
pressure and i should try some blood tests because my mom suggested me
to have anemia i don´t note the color of my body changed so bad but i
noted some weight changes and a difference on my color some months ago
when my tinnitus started too... :( i think i can habituate more to the
hissing than the wooshing, it is driving me crazy too.

Here are some tips it can be helpfull to you, to control your
tinnitus,try controling this things on your diet:
soda (specially cola drinks), soy in anyform, spicy and hot meals,
alcohol specially beer, chocolates.
i definitively have clear that all these and the combination of them
get my tinnitus worse, it´s sad to say because i love asian food
(speccially korean food) and i noted a couple of times it makes me have
worse days of tinnitus, what i can´t say is how long they use to
affect you.
keep on trying and thanks for your comment about the wooshing.
