Stop Ringing Ears

It is like a loud heartbeat in my ear…it has been happening on and off for about 2 years now. I did a little searching online and it said it could be pulsatile tinnitus….has anyone else been diagnosed with this,and how does the doc check to see if that is what you have?

also…it is in my right ear,and if I press on my neck below my ear it stops…is that weird?

I am 55 years old, have had this condition for about ten years, it is a very high pitched ringing in both ears.

ok so i have tinnitus from ear infection and i never expose myself to loud noise without ear plugs
i have just got a new motorbike and noticed it is quite loud anyway the first day i went out and wore ear plugs my tinnitus got worse. it wore off after 2 days. then today i went out and didnt wear them suprise suprise no increase or anything. why do ear plugs do this to my ears? my moto wud be about 85 dbs of sound when revved.

Example, sometimes I tend to hear a ringing when in bed but not elsewere..?
