rj,

You said one very important thing......

"i also need to stop researching on the internet!! its so hard!!"

You are reading a bunch of bogus information. There is no sound research that supports what you have said. Every brain injury is different.

Until you get access to the professional journals, you will find just about any view presented as fact.

Yes, there are some who never recover from their vestibular problems and tinnitus. But, you can not predict either.

My mother has lived with tinnitus for over 80 years. Many live with tinnitus without is being a big issue in their lives. I have lived with it for decades. I can listen to my tinnitus and I can ignore it. Learning to ignore it takes effort but it is worth it.

Dealing with anxiety issues are the first step to living with prolonged symptoms.

My best to you.
