I recently came down w/ pulsatile tinnitus after taking some medicine
for allergies.  I had no sleep for 2 nights, it was unbearable...I
could hear nothing but my pulse in my left hear.  The only thing that
helped was listening to music on some headphones.  I did notice I could
stick my finger in my ear and at a certain spot, the sound would go
away.

A few days later, and a dr.visit explaining there was nothing he could
really do, but give it timeto go away.  They recommended I get a clock
that played sounds to take my mind off of the sound. We all know that's
next to impossible.

I went to Wal-Mart and purchased some ear plugs.  I have discovered
that placing a foam earplug in your ear, at a place that's not too far,
it will actually stop the sound.  I would recommend people to give it a
try.  It's annoying only hearing out of one ear, but it's WAY better
than hearing a thumping.  I hope this helps at least one person.
