Not asking for any medical advice on these just wondering if anyone else here experiences these. For those that don't know, they are basically little hair like squiggles which appear in your line of vision. I first noticed one in my right eye back in May, now I have one in my left eye too. Very annoying.

Yeh that's it!
Yeh that is what causes them.
I rarely see the one in my left eye, but the one in my right eye is more noticeable. I have heard that they can disappear on their own...after many months or they can be permament. Time will tell. I think it is basically the hardening of the gel in the eye, the gel sort of clumps together. I just noticed it in my right eye at the beginning of May.
What is visual snow exactly? How do u know if you have it?
i just saw tinnitus mentioned, argh, how annoying is that when you're trying to get to sleeplol
its like sitting in a room with the whine of a crt tv in the background on no channel
Tinnitus is horrible, I have had it since the middle of May. It is my own fault, too many times of listening to the Ipod too loud, please turn the music down people. I would not wish this upon anyone else. i went for a hearing test and luckily my hearing is still fine, but I beg you please avoid tinnitus at all costs, it is horrible.
Im unfortunate enough to have that too; I find its worse at night and more tolerable in daylight.
Its something that I will just have to get used to - its not serious apparently.
Puzzling thing is though my eye is 100% healthy according to 5 different opthamologists. But I do get tinnitus in my ears (only notible when I go to sleep, thankfully.), which apparently a lot of people with visual snow/static also have. Some scientists think it "may" be related to nuerones in the brain
Was your tinnitus noise induced? Or have you always had it?
Yes that is very true. I never really went to nightclubs anyhow, I hate them, I much prefer pubs were the music is at much better levels. I have been to a couple of night clubs since my Tinnitus first started but it did not really effect it anyway. I no longer use ipods and only listen to music through my laptop speakers (they are not very powerful at all). I am 99.99999% sure it was the ipod that did it for me, I used to listen to it for hours every day when commuting to and from uni, at silly volumes, and when working on projects and essays on the computer. Tinnitus is horrible but I am lucky as I cannot hear it during the day, like you it is only at night time when I can hear it, when I am in total silence. I know there are quite a few researchers working on it and they are confident of finding a medicinal cure.
