Hi, I am 45 years old & have mirror Ophthalmic ICA aneurysms. The Rt one is 9mm & Lt one is 8mm. I had the Rt coiled April 2024 & the one Lt coiled Aug 2024. When they coiled the left one they looked at the Rt one to check on it & the coils compacted allowing flow back in. Went back Oct 2024 for a pipeline stent. I am 2 months post stent & developed a vibrating/whooshing sound in my right ear that is in sync w/my pulse & hasn’t went away. I am worried if there could possibly a narrowing in the stent causing this? I am on Plavix 75mg twice daily & aspirin for 6 months. I talked to my neurosurgeon’s NP who said he will order an mri to check on things. Just wondering if anyone else had this happen post stent? Thanks
Welcome Lisa! I’ve had tinnitus off and on since I ruptured, a lot in the beginning, but with my stent not so much. My Neurologist sent me to the ENT a few years back when it was at its worse. I had already seen my PCP and she had suggested using an old oscillating fan at night since I was having problems sleeping. It helped. The ENT said there wasn’t a thing she could do. But I’ve read on here there is something they can check, I just can’t remember what it is. Hopefully someone responds who knows. In the meantime, use our search feature for tinnitus, be prepared for a lot as it seems like a lot of us have to deal with it. Again, thank you for joining! Be patient as we really do have members all around the world, living in different time zones.
