    "I hear my eyeballs moving.." Just in case!

    Have you ever had a patient complain that their eyeballs are "noisy"--that they can hear their eyeballs moving as they redirect their gaze?

    Probably not. But just in case, now you can be ready with the diagnosis:

    "You are experiencing autophony, one of the symptoms of superior canal dehiscence syndrome."

    And then you say:

    "In other words, there is a hole in one of the bones near one of your ears, and you are hearing the sounds within your own body, amplified internally within your skull, that no one can normally hear."

    There are times when I have this, usually depending on how bad my sinus(es) are that day.

    So Chip, are you saying you got a hole in your head?

    Sometimes I roll my eyes at my husband so hard, I assume he must be able to hear it :)

    Funny Optilady, of course you can hear it when your wife rolls her eyes.
