Came up in a discussion about eye floaters. Can't imagine how aggravating it would be.

Noisy eyeballs, a condition where individuals perceive a grating or swishing sound when their eyes move, can be associated with various medical conditions. One such condition is superior canal dehiscence syndrome (SCDS), where a small hole in the bone covering part of the inner ear causes the movement of eyes to be amplified, leading to abnormal neural activity and symptoms like hearing one's eyes move.

Another possible cause is serotonin levels, as suggested by neuroscientist R. Douglas Fields, who experienced noisy eyeballs and was advised to check his serotonin levels by expert Josef Rauschecker. Rauschecker's research on tinnitus patients also showed a connection between serotonin and auditory cortex activity.

Symptoms of noisy eyeballs can include a grating noise when moving the eyes, which may be more noticeable during moments of drowsiness or relaxation. Treatment options vary depending on the underlying cause. For SCDS, surgical intervention to repair the bone defect can provide relief. In cases linked to serotonin, treatments might include medications like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or dietary supplements that affect serotonin levels.

If you experience noisy eyeballs, consulting a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment is recommended.

Holy moly. I've got bad floaters, and they're really annoying, but this sounds worse.
