Quite complex: The chiari defect is probably incidental and unrelated. Arachnoid cysts are common and probably unrelated. Menier's is pressure in the ear that may produce your symptoms. Ringing is tinnitus which is caused by damage to ear nerve cells. Bouts of vertigo and nausea may be migraine. You need a good doctor to put it all together.

TMJ component: Ringing or buzzing in the ears is a frequent symptom of TMJ dysfunction. If there is not enough space in the tm joint, if the muscles that stabilize the motion of the lower jaw(which are attached around the ear canal area) are not in balance, dizziness and ear buzzing may result. See a dentist who has experience in occlusal function.

See a ENT: See a specialist, an ears, nose and throat doctor. It may also be a TMJ disorder, the ENT will know. I have found hypnosis can help alleviate the ringing and nausea?

Dehydration and TMJ: These sound like some deep dehydration and compounding TMJ symptoms. I do not know the depth and breadth of your cyst nor have access to your chart. I would look at trying to drink several glasses of water a day, and see your dentist about a hard night guard. I know it sounds like a stretch, but I have had several patients experience similar symptoms and get moderate relief from this remedy.

If occurs in adult, TMJ diagnosis is attempted. Briefly, all inflammation in the posterior joint area should be eliminated. Diagnostic splint, anti-inflammatory meds are used to further diagnose and treat the tinnitus.
