Pulsatile tinnitus
For the past 4 months, I have been having a whooshing sound in my left ear. Sometimes this sound is accompanied by a second tonal pulsating sound. Both sounds disappear if I close my nose and mouth and blow air outward. If only the whooshing sound is there sometimes it disappears when I swim underwater. Please diagnose and help with treatment
