The symptoms of SCDS can be divided into symptoms mainly related to the cochlear part of the inner ear and those mainly related to the vestibular part. However, cognitive and emotional functions can also be affected, causing fatigue and depression for example. Cochlear hyperacusis seems to be one of the most disturbing symptoms, but conductive hyperacusis can also be extremely tiring in the long run, particularly when the patients can hear their internal body sounds at a disturbingly loud volume. Balance problems accentuated during physical exercise represent another characteristic symptom of SCDS, emanating from the vestibular part of the inner ear.
