      This is a bit difficult for me to describe, but does anyone else have a pressure from their tinnitus that seems to induce nausea?

      My tinnitus is ultra high pitch and seems to cause a visceral reaction in my ears, where my ears and head feel really full.

      I have been taking a motion sickness medication to cope, but curious if anyone else has this. I do not have vertigo, and this has been more or less continual for the 40 days I've had this, so I do not think it is Meniere's.

      Sometimes my tinnitus seems so high pitched I can barely perceive it, but the feeling and pressure it induces is very powerful, almost like my injured nerves/ear are firing an extremely high frequency and hard to discern signal, but at very high power.

      I know it sounds crazy, but it is very palpable. It's as though the tinnitus is not truly a noise, but instead a feeling sometimes. Curious if I am alone in this regard.

      Noise exposure
      I unfortunately don’t have any advice or guidance, but wanted to let you know this description matches my symptoms exactly.

      I was apparently exposed to damaging noise levels at a concert about a month and a half ago and have had an extremely high pitched rigging ever sense. Feeling of fullness even pressure in the middle ear and nausea constantly. Also a motion sickness feeling.

      Would love an update if your symptoms ever subsided or if you found a way to cope?
