I am interested to hear what others believe or know about using headphones whilst in a bout of vestibular issues. Normally i will listen to music before bed as it helps me relax but i have refrained since this episode of vertigo started as i thought it might make me feel worse like watching tv has done. Just wondered if it may hinder recovery in anyway?

    I have MAV/VM...TV only in small doses for me because I get visual vertigo. Ear buds not bad except when I have tinnitus...just more annoying. I listen to audio books every night and I do fine. Unless you are listening to megadeth every night...than that is a different story!
