    Does anyone else get nauseated :-X with the wind hitting their ear drums?

    Yes. Two choices; keep the windows up or wear earplugs.

    Not only that but with windows up and a/c on, it is a rarified environment that always helped my symptoms.

    same for me June, windows up and a/c on works best for me too.

    Fixing the a/c is cheaper than doctor bills. Maybe he can relate to that.

    Your health is more important.,if you don't feel well you can't perform daily activities. You have an illness. It's in your ears. I know that's a lot of money, but your health is more important.

    I don't get nauseated, but if just one window is down a vibration gets going that makes an obnoxious high-pitched ringing tinnitus sound to the beat of the wind.

    I've also noticed that if the door to the car gets slammed my ear hurts and gets stuffed--I think it's the rapid change in pressure.

    Not so much nauseated, though it makes me feel uncomfortable & amplifies both my aural fullness & tinnitus.

    Rarified! The physics is strong with this one.

    If only one of the car window is opened, then I feel a helicopter is hovering near me. I have to open the the opposite window also to sit in the car.

    Yup same for me on both of these.
    Happy to say that hubby is coming around after me taking much longer to get home from going to the store and from coming home yesterday from a 10min trip going upstairs and laying down and not getting out of bed until today he said soon as we can we will fix the a/c

    I went and got the recalls delt with today and asked for a quote on what Pep boys said was wrong on my A/C the GM dealer said 1075. I asked him they where cheaper and he said they probably use after market parts and have to do a lot more work because of the warranty.
