I would have never made that post on my own but I read about it in the MS forum and some people had that problem. they said it was a disconnect in the brain stem mixing up auditory and visual functions.
I guess that would make sense since no matter what the disease an injury to the brain stem is going to cause some of the same symptoms. it is the least bothersome of my symptoms. |

It's also possible there would be ear involvement as you can hear your eyes move.
There's a condition called Superior Canal Dehiscence that can be caused by head trauma, but not always. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_canal_dehiscence http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/857914-overview I don't hear my eyes move, but I sure do know that when my vertigo is bad that I have problems with my eyes as well as my ears.

Nothing suprises me after brain injury! We are our brains. All of our being.
I have bubbling sounds at the base of my skull. Doctors think I am nuts but I have that others have it too. In the big scheme of things, I can handle that part of the injury!! Good luck,
__________________
What happened: Legs pulled forward by a parent's hockey stick while resting at the side of the rink at a family skate....sent me straight back. I hit the back of my head (with helmet) on the ice, bounced a few times, unconscious for a few minutes. September 11, 2011. Off work since then…I work part-time at home when I can. It has been hell but slowly feeling better (when I am alone☺). Current symptoms: Vision problems (but 20/20 in each eye alone!) – convergence insufficiency – horizontal and vertical (heterophoria), problems with tracking and saccades, peripheral vision problems, eyes see different colour tints; tinnitus 24/7 both ears; hyperacusis (noise filter gone!), labyrinthian (inner ear) concussion, vestibular dysfunction (dizzy, bedspins, need to look down when walking); partial loss of sense of smell; electric shocks through head when doing too much; headaches; emotional lability; memory blanks; difficulty concentrating. I still can’t go into busy, noisy places. Fatigue. Executive functioning was affected – multi-tasking, planning, motivation. Slight aphasia. Shooting pain up neck and limited mobility at neck. Otherwise lucky! Current treatments: Vestibular therapy, Vision therapy, amantadine (100 mg a day), acupuncture and physiotherapy for neck, slow return to exercise, magnesium, resveratrol, omega 3 fish oils, vitamins D, B and multi. Optimism and perserverance. |
