hi (hopefully) quick question - I was going through old threads ~2014 where you were looking to buy a new can light for wreck diving in the northeast. I am in the market for one now as well (primarily diving wrecks in the ME-RI area) and I'm curious what you ended up with and how you like it. Thanks.

Is there anyway I could get your opinion about what happened to me in this thread? I'd really appreciate it.

Nice shots on your website! And contributions to the accidental deco thread.

Hello I saw you post in someone else's post about selling a Santi e motion drysuit what size and price if you still have it for sale thanks

I got an ENG test, and I will hear back with the results tomorrow. When my audiologist did the fistula test in my left ear it made me a little dizzy. It didnt cause strong symptoms because I was already dizzy that day from driving and moving around so much. But I tried the fistula test again later at home and it made me have rotational vertigo and rocking (like being on a boat).

Continued:

These symptoms never go away , but I feel better when I sit down or lay down.

I have no personal OR family history of migraine. I have never had any kind of headache in my life. I dont have photophobia, phonophobia, aura, or any of the other things that migraine sufferers experience. I think my ENT suggested vestibular migraine just because no cause was obvious.

Your advice would be very much appreciated. :blinking:

I noticed the thread you posted on perilymph fistula. I suspect that I got this condition after moving into a new house (heavy lifting and straining). I already had a hearing test which was normal, but I dont think they tested SNHL. My ENT suspects vestibular migraines, but I have never had a migraine headache in my life. These are the chronic symptoms I have had for 14 months.

- Dizziness and nausea when I move my head, or by increased physical activity.
- Water sounds in left ear, exacerbated by laying down. This sometimes causes ear pain and increased dizziness. I have a very mild tinnitus. I often get extremely sharp pains in this same ear, sometimes randomly, and sometimes caused by altitude changes, yawning or chewing food.
- Chewing on left side of mouth causes eyes to jump (oscillopsia)
- pressure in the back of my head
- Eyes feel tired
- Frequent movement to left with pronator test

Saw that you had dropped by. Saying hello from SC.

I hope you can take the time to answer this question. I've read some of your other responses and they were very pragmatic. My husband has a presumptive dx of PLF. He remembers exactly on which dive the trauma occurred. If this is this case, is there any possibility that he will not be able to continue diving-even after it has healed?
