It typically hits me at the end of my day when I'm starting to relax and this often coensides with my daughter playing loudly. My ear starts to throb and it moves to pretty much my whole head. It can turn into a migraine, but most of the time it is not very painful, just really irritating. If its a really bad episode I end up getting a bit nausious and dizzy. I have been to a few doctors so far for this and none have been able to figure out what it is. If anyone has some insight to this, please let me know.

Hi Mitch, I'm guessing you know about tinnitus and have ruled that out. Nevertheless, I just wanted to tell you that I've found that my tinnitus is activated by stress... so when you say you get the throbbing late in the day, maybe it's the nerves reacting to the stress you've dealt with.
Happily I've learned that using extra methylcobalamin lozenges makes my tinnitus become less loud, and go away.
I'm not sure it entirely goes away because sometimes if I stop and pay attention to what I hear, I can hear the refrigerator running... only I don't have a refrigerator running since I got solar, so it should be totally quiet except for car noises and such outside...
Still, this amount of tinnitus doesn't drive me crazy like the really loud bouts.
So, you might want to get some methylcobalamin lozenges and try them. Maybe if you were under a lot of stress during the day you could use extra ones and ward off the throbbing...
