Perhaps you have severe chronic subjective tinnitus and you've gone to your eye doctor and noticed that when your pupils are dilated your tinnitus flares up or you experience a tugging sensation or a "vroom" sound from one ear to the other. It may surprise some people to know that the visual center of the midbrain (superior colliculus) is connected to the auditory center (inferior colliculus) of the brain.
If you experience a tugging sensation or your tinnitus gets worse it is okay to ask your eye doctor, the next time that you visit, to reduce the dilation solution to the minimal that he or she needs to properly assess your eyes. Explain that it irritates your tinnitus.
The more that we share about our tinnitus the more we make the world aware. Eye doctors are intrigued to hear this information and they are typically happy to comply with your wishes.
