Tinnitus and sensitivity to fluorescent lighting

I've had tinnitus for as long as I can remember, in my case however it's not debilitating...I quite often don't notice it.

For the last 10 years I've had a condition where I will become dizzy/ nauseous in places with bright overhead fluorescent lighting, always a "big box" store, such as WalMart, Home Depot, Safeway, etc. In researching this condition I've found it might be related to the 60 htz flicker rate of fluorescent tube lighting. I recently found an MD working on this and he indicated that those with tinnitus (among other things) are more prone to this. His website suggested wearing a cap or polarized sunglasses in these spaces. I have tried this and so far it seems to work. Just wondered if anyone here has experienced this. Thanks.
