Hi Socks
As recovery goes, you might find some things bother you more (like music) than others. I've found there is no way I know for sure what I can and can not do until I try things out.
I keep earplugs in my purse at all times just in case sounds are suddenly very loud again and I can't handle it.
Also, if I am not sure how a situation will affect me, (like going to a movie) then I have a back up plan in place -- like making sure I will leave the movie and letting people I go with know that leaving may happen for me.
Keep on healing!

[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.
