...sharp hissing, loud metallic humming, and a high-pitched laser beam sound. I can no longer handle sounds above 65 dB, and in early November, visual snow started appearing. Initially, it was very light static, but it has worsened significantly. Now I see more floaters, extreme blue-field...

Hi there! So I'm getting some weird eye issues with my primarily middle ear noxacusis, I feel like it's bordering on visual snow. If I continue to worsen like this, my first choice of medication is CBD isolate. I'm going to attempt high consistent dosages of it in attempt to open the...

...At first the pulsatile tinnitus was the only symptom that I had or was aware of. However, I’ve also started to experience some symptoms of visual snow - including after images, blurry vision and floaters. But I haven’t had any noticeable vision loss, my vision is just weird. I also have...

...have been following my story, then you know my theory on neck/spine and my tinnitus. With the last 6 months I have had 3 episodes of Migraine Visual Aura. My theory (now) is that my neck/spine theory is really related to the visual cortex - perhaps blood supply/allergy/stress/migraine. Here...

Hi all - just created an account. I was diagnosed with Visual Snow Syndrome last September and just recently was prescribed Amitriptyline. I had very mild tinnitus before and now, after taking the Amitriptyline for 10 days, it’s a blood curdling scream and piercing my ears. It’s been over two...

...recovering from a month long tinnitus spike I got a keratitis and started obsessing over my eyes a lot, one day I came across a post about visual snow here and when I looked for it for a few days it appeared. I freaked out and now I can see it almost everywhere. Has anyone had a similar...

Hi, Is anyone else experiencing "visual snow" in addition of tinnitus? Tinnitus is one of the related symptoms. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_snow I've been experiencing visual snow as long as I can remember but now I feel it's getting worse. This may be due to the fact that I've been...

Hi, Pretty sure I just had visual snow. Was sitting at my desk in the office, heard a loud high pitched ring in my right ear and then just after noticed a small, bright intense zig-zag flickering pattern in my field of view. Kind of panicked, walked off to see if it disappeared. Googled it...

...in sunlight. What's weird is that after my hyperacusis started I started getting pain underneath/around my eyeballs. I know that visual snow syndrome is heavily linked with tinnitus/hearing problems, but do we know the pathology and would repairing the underlying hearing damage repair...

Hi i've had tinnitus all my life and it is caused by my visual snow. Do you guys think once a cure/good treatment comes out it will work for me since mine is caused by VS? I'm only 14 but these two things are ruining my life.

Hey guys Having a tough time... After I got used to my mild visual snow somewhat, I'm down in the dumps again. It recently worsened and is now more noticeable. On top my trailing is now clearly noticeable when before I had to check for it and depth perception is weird (like I have to...

Hey everyone, I’m new to Tinnitus Talk. I discovered it on Reddit. I started having tinnitus and visual snow when I was about 17 I believe... I have no idea what caused it. I remember one day not being able to sleep without a fan blasting in my face for the noise and having to sleep with the...

...off forums until I could come back and share a success story (as I have found those very helpful and want to give back) but the development of visual snow has been a massive setback that I could use advice on. My progression is as follows: Early July sitting at computer, feel a drop come...

...was returning to normal. Despite the twitches. But, over the last few months. I now have a constant ringing in my right ear and moderate visual snow (static everywhere I look). It's getting to the point where I cannot cope. My whole life has been ruined. I can barely get out of bed now with...

...something happened this afternoon that is making me question the ENT's labyrinthitis diagnosis. I experienced a "migraine halo" or "migraine visual aura". My tinnitus is relatively new, but I've had these auras on and off for nearly 10 years. To me, it looks like what you see after someone...

I'm starting a poll to get an idea of how many tinnitus sufferers also experience visual snow as I have read the two conditions often occur simultaneously.

Hello everyone, I'm Fabio and I've had tinnitus, vertigo, and visual snow for over 6 years. I have my good bays and bad, but lately I've truly been digging into finding some relief as it's starting to control parts of my life and turn me into a negative person. I'm not sure what triggered...

Hey folks! So I have been on this forum for about 7 months and consider myself being lucky that I can what not deal with my T and Visual Disturbances I have developed since onset. I generally speaking got T from noise damage and feel like have NIHL (cannot hear above 12000hz) and have multiple...

...and this has set me back. It is like taking 3 steps forward and 2 steps back. I have recently noticed a slight touch of what I would call visual snow. It is not the classic symptom but rather a slight shimmering in my peripheral vision when focusing on something far away. It comes and goes...

Hi everybody! We’re doing something a little different this time. In this episode, we’re talking to two pioneers in the field of visual snow. The patient experience is often one of being misunderstood, and research is in its infancy. What can be done? Patient advocate Sierra Domb and...

Hello, Do you experience any changes in your tinnitus, hyperacusis or visual snow syndrome when you're having a migraine? If you do what helps you to alleviate the symptoms or prevent them from happening? I've been having occasional migraines for the last 4-5 years and they weren't very bad...

Does anyone know if Epilim (Sodium Valproate) could cause visual snow? My elderly aunt has a background of tinnitus and hearing loss (not bothered by it at all) Her epilim was increased recently (for epilepsy), which has resulted in visual snow.

I have had both tinnitus and visual snow for 47 years. There seems to be a link between the two. 65% of those who have visual snow also have tinnitus. Anyone else here have both too?

Anyone believe that curing hearing loss would allow the brain to calm the hyperactive neurons that also cause other issues such as visual snow, essentially resolving issues that developed after tinnitus onset?

...It does spike sometimes. Dizziness has been getting better. I believe I have adapted to the vestibular loss that the caloric testing shows. Visual symptoms remain. They are certainly scary. This is what I'm mainly experiencing: Discomfort when looking/focusing near or far, especially with...

...to declare in my eyes. I thought after that I just had more vitreous floaters than average. Despite floaters, I started seeing very mild visual phenomena like after images and higher sensitivity to light. The snow is only present at night but I don’t think it’s a new thing and it doesn’t...

This study is about Visual Snow Syndrome, but it also implies tinnitus. I’m honestly more and more convinced that for a certain subtype of tinnitus patients they may have the same underlying condition. For some time I’ve felt that the key to understanding tinnitus on the neurological level is in...

As my Tinnitus has started to move around my brain recently i seemed to have developed something called "visual snow", pretty much its like your field of view kind of looks like that of a movie screen, like thousands of tiny vibrating dots, after some research it seems that this little joy in...

I developed visual snow about a year before tinnitus. It’s mild at this point in comparison to what it used to be. Lots of floaters, static on dark backgrounds. I have a somatic element to my tinnitus. It can be modulated by various movements. I have one bad spot on the right side of my...

...spike (possibly caused by headphone use/intense stress) has caused me a lot of anxiety. On top of that, I have been experiencing mysterious visual symptoms. It began one day about a month ago. I was outside and began seeing a flickering/pulsating, colorless aura in the center of my vision in...

Visual snow is a visual phenomenon that's extremely linked to tinnitus. For the most part, it kind of looks like this:

...bit since then (hoping for it to get back to the way it was before, but I'm not holding my breath.) but the stress of it all, including my new Visual Snow, made me relapse into my depression and anxiety. I think I have a bit of phonophobia as well. I've started seeing a therapist again which...

Hi. I'm 15, from Germany. I have had tinnitus / visual snow since I was 4-5 years old I believe. I recently visited my ENT. He administered a hearing test. Everything was ok. He said my tinnitus will go away on its own. I'm very anxious that I need to live with this forever, because I had some...

Hello, I developed tinnitus after an incident involving a bad pair of headphones. I've had it for four months. I developed visual snow just last month. I'm having a really hard time dealing with it. I was wondering if there's any hope a hearing loss cure could fix visual snow? I believe...

Any cases where reduced tinnitus and hyperacusis reduced visual snow too?

...Spotify soothing and they allow me sleep. In the waking day my tinnitus doesn't bother me at all, the odd tone here and there. Recently, my visual snow syndrome has started to bother me. I think it's worth noting that this appeared at the same time as the tinnitus did. Curiouser and...

...aren't crazy. I've had Tinnitus for 3.5 months and in the last month I have really noticed my eye floaters flare up as well as other strange visual symptoms. I'd explain this to doctors and they look at me like I'm a looney hypochondriac who googled my symptoms. Turns out damaged hearing can...

I have the neurological kind of tinnitus (started after onset of visual snow) with no hearing loss or any issues with hyperacusis etc. For the first time since my onset of symptoms I've been given the opportunity to attend a sports game tomorrow (football) and I'm just wondering if this poses...

I was starting to deal better with T, now I can't do but focus on this "visual snow". I think I always had some form of it as a child, in the dark. But since it started with seeing floaters now I just can't focus at my PC screen, seeing some kind of noise almost everywhere. And for the first...

I woke up on February 1st with both ears ringing and a terrible "loudness." I had a visual disturbance 6 days before that and went to the ER and they gave me a CT scan and came back normal. I followed up with a neuro who told me ear ringing is not related to visual disturbance. I've seen a...

...I went to an ENT. He said it was from acoustic trauma. I never followed up and now I’m having a lot of other scary symptoms. Blurry vision, visual snow, double vision, starbursts. Also having bad jaw problems, balance issues, facial numbness, facial weakness, and left side of body feels...

...relieved. Until a few days ago when I woke up with blurred vision, lights in my vision and seeing static. Now my first guess is that this is visual snow, because it came on suddenly and I’ve had perfect vision my entire life. A few days before this I was highlight stressed, getting...

...sound masks it for the most part. The reason I don't feel as though its a success, is that along the same timeline, I developed moderate-heavy visual snow. Here is a brief timeline of my symptoms: 2/2019: Sensation of migraine like aura in early stage, but never develops (I have had a...

...noise inside my ear while running. I have no clue what's causing it and I definitely didn't have it before my acoustic trauma. 2. I saw visual snow for the first time as it got darker outside. It looked like TV static or a slight rain drizzle. It seems only visible in low light...

Since January of this year, I've started noticing visual trailing. Specifically, if I look in front of me, and wave my hand semi-slowly back and forward (looking past the hand, not focusing on it) I see what I can only describe is a type of translucent trailing of my hand following my actual...

...website that shows supplements that are supposed to enhance vision. Has anyone tried any of these and could you recommend them? I also have visual snow in the dark which isn't a big deal to me but if it can be corrected, I think that is great. I really don't have the money now to buy a...
