Guess I was born with it. Never not known life without T
Sometimes I get floaters or feel quite nauseas. It feels like I'm not in my head, my vision gets a little weird, like I can see but I can't see.

Experiencing it right now and my T is screaming my head off.

I'm beginning to wonder if I have something else wrong, or if it's just because of my hearing?

I started getting the flu 3 weeks ago today, and am still a little stuffy and not 100% from that. Perhaps it's that.

Seeing a T expert tomorrow, will sound out these things with him.
 
I would get your eyes checked out though.
Good luck with the T expert and hope he/she as a good caring manner .....lots of love glynis
 
I do but will find it hard to put into words. Every other day my T is on a quieter phase, but it's very high yet quiet. On the noisier days I wake up different sort of tired headachy and tearful, that day is always doomed. The quiet days it's better but sometimes the pitch is like a sensation in my head, like a nerve nipped. I swear the spikes and changes are telling me something, something must be happening in the brain.
One thing I've finally noticed us I get a spike when I'm hungry, whereas I used to get a blood sugar attack.
 
Yeah lightheaded and dizzy constantly. At night, I have a hard time walking and bang into things. Sometimes I get the spinning sensation in bed if I turn my head quickly. I found all of this to improve a lot after my ear injury but still hangs around. I believe I am better at handling these things, my eyes and body have adjusted somewhat but still can't compensate enough at times. Doing activities that involve balance seems to help.
 
I have the inverse effect. I get presyncope (the feeling of fainting to the point of collapse but not fainting) when I'm having a quiet tinnitus day and no feeling faint when I have a bad tinnitus day.

So I feel there is a correlation with the two. There may be a category of blood circulatory tinnitus yet to be studied.
 
Hey @rhull same thing! 2 weeks ago I suddenly almost felt like I was going to faint, and my vision got all blurry and I was sweating. Now my vision is still a little off........ What did the expert say?

Have you been checked out for migraine? Migraine and T are closely linked and often come together. Migraine can come without head pain.
On MRI migraine and T have been shown to light up the same areas. Migraine comes with nausea and visual disturbances too and T in many cases.
 
I have had eye floaters since I can remember and I also have aura migraines. They have been with me since I was young, first time I got aura migraine was when I was around 11-12. So that has nothing to do with my T at all.
I have not noticed any change in my body beside the ringing of course, otherwise I am the same expect having a little harder to hear very quiet noises from afar since the ringing blocks a lot of the sound out.

I think the floaters came because I wasn't eating well. Both times came after a virus.

As for the expert. He said neuromonics. The search continues...
