People with Pulsatile Tinnitus often describe it as

hearing a rhythmic thumping, whooshing, ringing

or throbbing in one or both ears.

In mild cases, this can simply be annoying but for
many others the sounds are intense and debilitating.
It can affect their equilibrium, causing headaches,
neck pain and interfere with their daily lives by
making it difficult to concentrate or even sleep.
