Glacier,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. You already are doing a good job at minimizing your symptoms and triggers. You could try using head phones or ear buds when viewing/listening to TV or videos on screen. Reducing the ambient sounds will allow you to better process the targeted sounds.

Why do you use just one ear plug ? I find I can hear through the yellow foam ones quite well. They do a good job at blocking the background sounds.

Have you had any diagnostics of your neck. The neck often suffers whiplash like injuries in a fall like yours. These can make PCS symptoms much worse. Tenderness behind the ears is a good sign of a neck injury. C-1 and C-2 can have fine injuries causing inflammation that disrupts all kinds of brain functions.

Let us know how else we can help.

My best to you.
