Hi - About a year ago I had braces taken off my teeth. Shortly after I started getting pains in the right upper jaw area / euchtasian tube etc. etc. - like tmj.
Then, and this is the weird bit, I started hearing noises when I moved my right eyeball. As if swelliing or something or displaced fluid is picking up noises inside the skull area. Weird to experience and weird to explain. Anyone who had experienced this will know what I'm talking about.

I went to eye doctor - not pressure in the eye or anything and eye is fine. Seems that perhaps swelling in the inner eye area is involved.

No particular dizzyness or anything.


Help?

I'm not familiar with your symptoms at all, sorry. Have you seen an ENT yet? S/he might be able to help you. It doesn't sound pleasant at all.

Hope you feel better!

, and this is the weird bit, I started hearing noises when I moved my right eyeball.

Weird, yes, but not uncommon. Check out this past thread. Subs on the this board referred me to this article. I have tinnitus but not involving my eyes.

It is a very good article if you can get your hands on it. Perhaps your local library will have it as it wasn't that long ago it was published.

Here is the link to the thread on this board regarding the article:

interesting. but can't source article.

if the brain wasn't shutting out noises, wouldn't that perhaps happen from both ears/eyes? would be more concerned if I thought I had something wrong in the brain wiring

...as opposed to 'just' something wrong with space/nerves between one eye and ear and the brain just doing what it does naturally.

I have blepharitis in the same eye and ongoing bronchitis so who knows what complications i have with conjestion / respiratory tract infections.

oh well.

You are not alone in this condition. I had the same situation recently. I used to work in the visual research field, and consulted collegues concerning the condition and no one in that field had experience in this condition. I had a crashing noise in my ear when I would have rapid movements, call saccadic, but not when I had following movements. The brain sends signals to the muscles in the eye to track objects. It is my theory that these bursts of enervation sent to the eye get somehow cross connected to the auditory section of the brain and are interpreted as sound. I believe this because I did research experiments monitoring the electrical activity in the eye muscles and if connected to sound amplification the sound was exactly what I heard. Fortunately the condition disappeared, but its understanding is still a mystery.
