Over the years I have seen a few threads on tinnitus. I have it very mildly and doesn’t bother me much. On the other hand I have had “floaters” in my eyes since I was a teenager (probably just when I noticed them). Until I saw a doc I thought I was going blind but apparently they run in my family. They are like visual tinnitus and my god do they drive me crazy. I find wearing sunglasses helps me ignore them but they can be brutal. I am a big skier and in flat light they drive me bonkers. Not sure I have seen these discussed here but maybe I missed it. | ||||||||||||||

Start eating pineapple, you will be surprised of the effect on the floaters. | ||||||||||||||

As someone with both as well, yeah they are there but really they don't bother me. I cannot change them so I don't worry about them, they are just little my little floating jelly blobs friends that visit when I am at my computer. | ||||||||||||||

I have both as well. Floaters are mildly annoying, but at least when you lie in bed at night you don't see them in the dark. | ||||||||||||||

I've had them all my life. I remember watching a some video a few years back that said they're more noticeable against a bright/white background, which checked out with my past experiences. And judging by your skiing comment, probably for yours as well! | ||||||||||||||

That stinks, sorry to hear. It's mentioned when tinnitus comes up, or when dark mode isn't available. Couple months ago, someone recommended a supplement that it seems could easily(?) be DIY'd in case it's snake oil (even if it's more expensive, then they don't "win"!) :) https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... | ||||||||||||||

I have the same problem. Some good mitigations are dark mode on the computer and using very dark, yellow/brown alpine sunglasses in bright sun. | ||||||||||||||
