    It’s a Strange New World — Tinnitus Connected to Migraines/Barorauma/Sinus Issues?

    Just to update: Whatever is causing the pressure in my head is affecting or affected my eyes as well. When the ringing started, I also experienced visual snow, flashes and a sudden increase of floaters. I went to an eye doctor and my retina in both my eyes turned out to have tears in them...

    It’s a Strange New World — Tinnitus Connected to Migraines/Barorauma/Sinus Issues?

    Well, I am just a little over a week on the way. The neurologist said it takes about 6 to 8 weeks to start taking effect. I do think it helps me with sleep a little though. I have had migraines since I was 10. Late November the pattern changed and after a flight it turned into a 24/7 pressure...

    It’s a Strange New World — Tinnitus Connected to Migraines/Barorauma/Sinus Issues?

    Hey thanks @billie48 ! You’ve been around here for quite a while I can see... Hope you’re doing well in life and are happy with who you are and life in general... As I thought, my scans came in clean. So the Neurologist went back to the migraine theory. Which I tend to agree with. It sounds...

    It’s a Strange New World — Tinnitus Connected to Migraines/Barorauma/Sinus Issues?

    So, here I am. After reading the forum for the last months I thought it’d be nice to introduce myself and my “case”. I am Ruben, a social worker from Holland. I’ve been working in the humanitarian field in Greece in a refugee camp for the last 3 years. Recently I started to relocate to Turkey...
