Tinnitus: Eye Strain

There does seem to be some correlation between eye strain and my tinnitus flare ups. I used to be an avid reader of books. Even with the right prescription lenses, I stopped reading books when I noticed that concentrating or focusing on reading for too long would cause my tinnitus to flare up.

I honestly felt depressed at the thought of no longer enjoying a good book. If you have chronic severe tinnitus you may have noticed this correlation yourself.

I have overcome the eye strain issue by purchasing a Nook tablet. The Nook allows me to expand the lettering and, because the background is lit up, I am no longer straining my eyes.
