I am not too sure what he means by "throbbing" but he has said it is like hearing blood pumping in his ears to the beat of his heart (so pulsating, yes). I am assuming it is similar to a migraine...but his is 24/7 upon laying down. I told him to plug into this forum...but he doesn't want an account for some reason. He does not hear it at all sitting up. So I am assuming it is a positional thing.

I asked him if earplugs would work...as I used them a lot...but he said they don't dull the pulsating at all. He wishes he could sleep sitting up because he does not hear it then. He does hear it on his back, but not as much as when he is laying on either side.

I wonder if it could be something in his neck...because he is not experiencing any other symptoms. I just wondered if there was anyone on the forum experiencing something similar. It's a strange symptom....
