Never thought I would discuss this on here, but as this strikes so close to home, here goes !
I suffer from a rare condition known as 'Visual Snow'. it is a condition that the medical field have recently acknowledged as a condition, there is no cure as of yet but Neurologists are looking into it. We all share many symptoms and of varying severity. One thing we all have is vision like you are watching an old analogue TV that is not tuned in correctly (static) also vision at night is very poor.
I have had this for 30 years and gave up seeing Doctors as they were all clueless!! After a few years I gave up and got use to it (and in fact didn't notice it for days on end).
5 years ago I acquired more symptoms out of the blue, these were Tinnitus/dizziness/many eye floaters (noticeable all the time not just on bright days or white walls/pressure in the head/Depersonalization/Depression. I didn't think these new symptoms were related until I went for a standard eye test and the lady asked me if there was anything I wanted to discuss about eyes. I thought I would mention it to her and she came back with, this sounds like a new condition that the medical field have become aware of.
I went back home and googled 'Visual Snow' and it all fell into place!! I must admit I felt Euphoric as I wasn't mad or imagining it, it had a name and there are others out there going through this sh!t as well!!
Anyway..........Long story short, approx. 70-75% of VS sufferers also have Tinnitus.
I have spent hundreds/thousands of pounds trying to find a solution for the Tinnitus as this is my worst condition, being told by ENT's that you have it for life put me in a deep dark place that I am still crawling out of!!
My auditory conditions sound very much like a condition known as Eustachian Tube Dysfunction and there is a new treatment for this that has had a good success rate called Tubolasy (inserting balloons in the Eustachian tubes and inflating. I am seeing a consultant this Friday who does this procedure so fingers crossed he can help me!!
