Blunderbuss89 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 I don't know the answer to this question but I find it interesting that video feedback loops can cause a scrambled, snowy picture on cheaper/older displays and audio feedback loops cause high-pitched ringing. Two common HPPD symptoms are snowy vision and ringing ears. Almost like the brain is caught in a feedback loop. Not sure what to make of that information but it's trippy to think about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryC Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Researching Tinnitus I came across some articles saying that it is related to excessive glutamate in the system. This is also reated to HPPD as I understand. Some posts on this site say it is better to enhance glutamate instead of taking meds to reduce it.

hppd24years Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 That's crazy, before I knew about hppd I always thought that there was a weird correlation between the t.v. and hppd. I caught both tinnitus and visual snow from my psychedelic slide into a sanctuary of sediment.. My ears will ring noticeably when I turn on the boob tube. I use to go into the bathroom and my girlfriend would turn it off, on, off, on which I can't see her doing it but could tell her when it was turned off or on with a 100% accuracy rate. I remember years ago when flicking through the channels of my television late at night I would bump into the static channel which emitted a horrible tone on the ear drums but man did it ever simulate my symptoms. Hey maybe it is closely related to the audio/visual feedback loop to our brains department that is affected from the residue as a constant reflex going back and forth like a ping pong game. That is probably why our perception is not quite normal because there is a gap between the lines. Lots of love hppd sufferers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
