Easing Eye Strain with the Right Lenses (2012)

Another anecdote for you: do a mental check you shoulder and back muscles. I’ve personally found (as have others) that my tinnitus intensity is closely tied to how tense my shoulders and upper back muscles are.

Thanks. That's in fact my third symptom. Really bad issues with my left shoulder in rare cases causing ocular migraines.

Doctors claim it bears no relation, but I am sure it does.

How did you fix yours?

By focusing on the muscle tenseness. Meditation, massage, hot water. And sometimes just some ibuprofen to break the "it hurts, so tense up, which causes it to hurt" cycle.

They're not perfect, but I'm mindful of the state of those muscles now, and can typically head off (or deal with) the tenseness.
