Yes, it can get better!
Hello!
EArly on and for some time I had tinnitis in my left ear. That ear is still more sensitive to noise or loud sounds.
My tinitis is gone -- but it can return when I am very, very tired. I can hear it then.
Vestibular therapy helped me greatly with my dizziness and my vestibular problems.
I live in a state of recovery now.
If you have to research something, then read the thread on PCS and hope on the stickie up there. There are those of us who do heal up nicely. I am lucky and blessed to be one.
I come back here from time to time to offer hope and maybe a measure of peace too. I recall being just as scared as you are and trying to find answers. I found the best answers here at this forum.
And one of the best answers I found here was -- reduce stress in your life in any way you can. Your poor injured brain can't take the searching and reading that stuff is just upsetting you so please stop. Your brain will thank you.
God bless

[SIZE="1"]What happened. I was in a car accident 2-23-2013, and got a mild concussion from it. I had some time off for brain rest, got somewhat better, but slipped into PCS in March 2013.
Symptoms I had: dizziness, light and sound sensitivity, fatigue, tinitis, occasional headaches and migraines,
Symptoms as of 5--2013: poor sleep, tinitis, some confusion /short term memory blanks, balance. The other symptoms are mostly gone, but flare up if I OVERdo something.
Therapy I had: vestibular
3 months in: I could drive more and for longer distances. I felt like a younger, happier version of myself and I feel so blessed to have this feeling.
9 months in and I am working full time. I do get tired, and some sound and light sensitivity from time to time, but mostly I am over most of my symptoms.
I pray every day and I m praying for your recovery.
Over a year in: I can multi task (limited) and have humor in my life. But when I am tired, I am very tired.
