My wife woke up with a pusating ringing in both ears about 10 days ago. She also has a stiff neck, not sure if related? We went to a general physician, the doctor checked bp, heart beat, etc and said nothing seems to be wrong. Just prescribed some vitamins and nothing else. The pulsating sound in the ears kept getting worse, so we went to see an ENT yesterday. The doctor checked her ears and said that there is no sign of any wax or any infection. He said the tinittus can be idiopathic and has to be ignored. The doctor said there is no specific cause for this and it is best to wait couple of weeks and ignore the ringing. However, my wife is having quite a troubled time and she is not able to concentrate on anything due to this. She also feels dizzy at times. The doctor prescribed Vitamin B12 and vertin 16mg. So is there no way to understand the cause for tinittus? Is Vitamim B12 going to help? How do I make her feel better? She is too depressed about the ringing. Any suggestions?
