Onecanhope, if you post your recent thyroid results with the lab ref ranges (figures in brackets after results) members will advise whether you are optimally medicated.

Hypothyroidism can affect eyes, causing dryness and grittiness and a sort of bleaching of colour and ear infections and tinnitus are common.

It may be an idea to ask GP to check ferritin, vitamin D, B12 and folate. Low/deficient levels are common in hypothyroid patients and supplementing to optimise levels improves wellbeing.
