I have some tinnitus and head pressure alongside the dr and dp.

Also fear.

Anyone else?
Do you have any other sxs beside just being numb?

I also have tinnitus and sometimes hypnagogic hallucinations when I had a stressful day.

I have lots of symptoms (as do many with DP/DR) but most of them can be sorta grouped into DP or DR. Or at least related to those two.

For example, the person I see in the mirror doesn't look like me, and I have emotional blunting/anhedonia. Might be DP related. I have micropsia and macropsia. Could be DR. I also have light sensitivity. Time goes very fast. Bad brain fog. All sorts of shit. I have problems with fear and anxiety too.

I had tinnitus for a year before DP/DR, don't think it's related (may very well be in your case though!).

By "sxs" do you mean symptoms?

Yes sxs means symptoms.
Yeah I have some light sensitivity, but not too bad with that one.

Tinnitus, hypnagogic hallucinations, and occasional headaches are normal. They might get worse with stress.

I do have some hypnagogic hallucinations up on awakening sometimes.

Do you have the tinnitus?
The frequency and sound of it varies. Sometimes it's loud, and other times, very very low.

Yeah I have some macropsia.
I was at Home Depot a couple weeks ago, and I felt small.. like the floor was meeting my chin and ppl looked smaller than me and wide looking.


Another name is Alice in Wonderland Syndrome.

I believe in the theory that tinnitus is your dead hearing continuously sounding off and your brain is supposed to tune it out or ignore it. That would explain why tinnitus becomes worse after hearing loss and why its perceived volume changes depending on mood and so forth.

I can agree with that.

When I clench my jaw, it's worse. Idk, very odd.

It's only around when the dr and dp are present...

And I think stress does indeed cause tinnitus, even in ppl who don't have dr dp per se.

Visual snow is another interesting thing like ears ringing. Everyone's eyes have visual snow, but sometimes people experience it more strongly or become distracted by it. A lot of people don't notice their visual snow or have forgotten about it until they experience depersonalization. Upon noticing it and being disturbed by it they want to rid themselves of it, but it's a normal phenomenon.

I get that ear ringing can be very annoying. It can add an extra layer of difficulty to meditating or relaxing. Sometimes a meditation session or attempt to sleep becomes more about trying not to be bothered by tinnitus, in which case background noise might be helpful. Protect your hearing, people, as well as your jaws and teeth.

I've heard ppl talk about visual snow and floaters. I don't have the snow...
I have had visual dr, you could call it. It's like the derealization is so thick, you can see it...
Or sometimes things look too colorful instead of dull.

The tinnitus can be annoying when it's high-pitched, but usually not too much.
