Mokey, I'd love a copy of the links.

I'm going to the ENT tomorrow to find out more about my own situation regarding dizziness, nausea, tinnititus, hyperacusis, etc. My question is do you all have suggestions on _what_to ask the ENT about?

I've lost 35 pounds since the accident last July 2012. small silver lining, but I'm not in control since I often vomit if I get to nauseous. I often feel like I'm on a ship, and on the right side is like a mirror fun house in terms of feeling. Visually it's okay; it just feels funny.

There is some visual-vestibular connection, but I'm not sure what. I am also on prism glasses and undergoing vision therapy for convergence insufficiency. The optometrist thinks I have another 9-12 months to go.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks to you all-this forum has been a life saver.
