Audible noise when moving my eyes

I occasionally suffer from something similar to this. I "hear" a clicking sound when I move my eyes from left to right or vice versa, but not when I move them up and down. It is definitely a "click". It usually goes away after a few days. Sometimes it is accompanied with dizziness and/or nausea, other times not. I asked my family doctor, who just shrugged, and my optometrist who was going to "look into it" but never got back to me. This latest bout started the day after I had a cranio-facial massage for my sinuses. I have crappy sinuses, but they aren't bugging me at the moment. Weird.

Hi, I had this when I stopped taking Venlafaxine. In order to stop it happening, I took one or a half tablet of Venlafaxine, which immediately stopped it but only for a few days. When it came back I took another one or a half tablet. I continued with this routine until the gaps between episodes became longer and the symptoms finally stopped. I hope this helps, x

I get the light sabre sound too...glad it's not only me. It started just after flu like symptoms that lasted for a day. Now my entire body hursts (like a fibromyalgia) and the sabre sounds started. Getting worried.

yes i only hear it when eyes move side to side, not up and down

I have clicking sound when I blink and rub my eye balls, does anybody know what this could be?

I hear the same when I'm late on talking my zoloft

I was starting to Suspect this, i missed taking my Anti Anxiety medication (Nortriptyline) for a couple days waiting for it to arrive by mail, and i started having these symptoms. I just took my dose today so we will see if that helps. if it does i will report back.

I have this too for so long. I was given an exercise but could no longer remember the name. I actually have it now and it's annoying. My doctor said it is a virus but I don't know anymore about it. Yes, shaking rice is closest to describing the noise. or aluminum foil

Pls let us know . Thanks

The rice shaking is the best description I have heard for this sound. My symptoms also include a type of vertigo, like everything in my vision is wobbling. My doctor said that this was BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) and did a maneuver with my head that cured me - the first time. Well, this has been reoccurring more and more often over the last several years and seems to last longer every time. I find it difficult to function and must try to keep my eyes in one position. The vertigo also brings on nausea after a while. Have you had any more episodes and, if so, any other opinions from docs as to how to deal with this?

Oh MY Gosh, Very glad to have read all these posts.. I have had this for about a week and I thought " oh great, I'm really losing it!"  I'm in the middle of moving and have misplaced my Cymbalta med.  It's only when looking side to side and I described it as a chk chk chk..  Sounds like it's very likely related to the sudden stop of meds. D

I have the eye moving whooshing sounds, like the light saber (sp), and when I move eyes, mostly when right to left, at the same time as the whooshing I get a tingling sensationn at the tops of both my shoulders, sometimes in my hands and feet, just for a few seconds.  This has been going on for over two years but I only started going to my doc about it when I started to have such strong sensations that it would make me very anxious when waiting on train platforms as I seemed to momentarily lose focus.  It often starts when I am stressed, either mentally or physically, and the more stressed I am, the worse it becomes.  It can happen two or three times a day, every day.  I also have tinnitus in my left ear.  So far I have seen ENT - all clear.  I have had carotid arteries in neck checked - all clear.  Next step is neurologist on Friday.  I have it as we speak despite the fact that I am, as far as I feel, relaxed.  Moving eyes left to right, whoosh whoosh whoosh.  Another way of describing it, is the feeling when you have flu and you move your head around, and a bit of lightheadedness and off-balance.  Your body aches, all your joints ache.  It's a similar feeling.  My doc is looking at vestibular migraine.   

I am currently undergoing tests for SCD and I am certain that is what I have. Basically, I have most, if not all, of the symptoms. Feeling like this really sucks and it's getting worse. I hope this helps others because it has been driving me crazy wondering what is wrong with me. It's pretty rare and not well known. Here is where I got the information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_canal_dehiscence Superior canal dehiscence (SCD) can affect both hearing and balance to different extents in different people. Symptoms of SCDS include: Autophony – person's own speech or other self-generated noises (e.g. heartbeat, eye movements, creaking joints, chewing) are heard unusually loudly in the affected ear Dizziness/ vertigo/ chronic disequilibrium caused by the dysfunction of the superior semicircular canal Tullio phenomenon – sound-induced vertigo, disequilibrium or dizziness, nystagmus and oscillopsia Pulse-synchronous oscillopsia Hyperacusis – the over-sensitivity to soundLow-frequency conductive hearing loss A feeling of fullness in the affected ear Pulsatile tinnitus Brain fog Fatigue Headache/migraine Tinnitus – high pitched ringing in the ear

These symptom/sounds first appeared for me about 15 years ago and were an indicator that I had missed or delayed too long an antidepressant I was taking at the time  - Prozac, I believe. During a five-year period I switched to a number of other SRI, the names of which I can't remember at this writing. In at least two instances, the weaning off period was marked by these loud, explosive sounds and the withdrawal was an awful experience. I regret to say these sounds persist to this day, although more muted and less freqrntly. Like some posting here, it tends to occur in bed before and after sleep, or when twisting my neck, say, while backing out of a parking space.I have not taken an anti-depressant for at least 15 years, and I fear this may be some sort of ottotoxic damage. i have found other sites having postings about the whoosh sound while taking these drugs. For me, more recently they are associated with migraine-like head pressure, which is what prompted me to search symptoms today. Reading collective symptoms here is strangely reassuring, and I find mentioning Internet-bases self-diagnoses to your doctor almost certainly 

..minimizes your being taken seriously.
