I apologise for going off topic, but I was wondering what your tinnitus is like. I have this problem where I hear a constant background static, especially in a quiet environment, but most bothersome is the pulsing/rushing in my ears. Sometimes it happens at random, but usually when I turn my head or eyeballs. It even happens when I am driving and I go into a turn. When I get the pulsing, I feel like I am the beginning of the process of blacking out. I think if the pulsing went on for longer than it does that I might black out. Any thoughts? I am afraid this could be dangerous.
